Someone posted below that you now have to pass the RMT to even take the CMT? - Kiki


Posted: Sep 20, 2011

Is this really true?  I was already on the fence about it....I despise ADHI but at the same time realize having CMT could possibly help find a job and sometimes (rarely) get a CMT diff.  Not to mention the test cost $300 whether you pass or not.  So now you have to pay to pass the RMT?  This can't be true.  I mean, if you can pass the CMT you should be able to pass the RMT w/o having to PAY for it. 

It is true - RMT, then CMT

You have to take RMT first, and then when you mass, you take CMT if you want.

The cost went up too! And yes, you have to pay and they do not reimburse if you do not pass, and if you want to retake, you PAY AGAIN.

I bet they give it to India free... You know, they support them over there and charge us for the pleasure of doing so.

It's one test... if you score high enough for RMT, you can - sm

Don't support the CMT scam - Old Pro
[ In Reply To ..]
Many, many MTs have quit the AAMT or the AHDI or the ADHD or whatever the heck it is now. Don't support the scam.

Uhm, you can just take it ONCE and come with out with the - highest credential YOU scored for. LOL

Does Anybody Else Think That MQ Just Does Want Us To Not Pass Audits?

Does it seem like no matter what you do it is not good enough? Here lately it seems like they only audit the worst dictator. The only reports they have audited for me lately have been ESLs lately. Maybe that is their way of trying to get rid of me. Maybe they want to thin the herd and just send it all to India. I just hope to find something soon outside of MT. I have been looking.   ...


Can A New Grad Pass The CCS, CPC? I Just Did
Jan 08, 2012

Someone just asked, so I'll answer.  Yes, it is very possible.  I graduated 1 1/2 years ago from Andrews School but then waited to take the exams (personal reasons). I just started back on track to get the credentials.  I passed the CPC this fall and passed the CCS this week.   Even with the long delay between the end of school and my credentialing exams, I passed both on the first try. I have NOT worked a single day as a coder.  I am ...


Just Something I Want To Pass Along That Could Be Helpful

I, I think like a lot of the MTs on here are getting fed up with Express Scribe and the fact that you have to go to the Pro Version and downgrade to the free.  Stupidly on Thursday, I removed my copy of ES to install the version that the company I was going to work for uses.  Well, now, I cannot even configure the footpedal unless I purchase the product or one of their footpedals (my footpedal is an IN-USB-1 which has worked on Express Scribe in the past), but now, it is not even on th ...

Is It Possible To Pass The CCS Exam Upon Completion Of The Andrews Coding Course?
Nov 21, 2013

From what I've read, the CCS exam sounds difficult and I'm curious if any Andrews grads passed the exam as soon as they were finished with the course. I guess really what I'm wondering is if the Andrews course prepares you enough to pass the CCS or is the course more geared toward the CPC. I'm in the research phase right now, deciding which coding course is the best one for me. I'm also still trying to understand the differences between all of the coding credentials, bu ...
