To code or not - to code.

The truth is that transcription has changed and it will never go back to the good old days.  Mmodal sees this too.  They are shifting as is the norm these days.  Nothing is static.  They are transitioning and they are inviting you to go with them.  I am glad to see a training program for coders.  There are not enough coders out here.  Please be prepared to work your butt off.  Take it, work it, and learn it.  Coding is a unique, important, challenging thing.  I hated it at first, but now I am so amazed at my knowledge.  Don’t give up.  But decide now before you sign up if you can/will/want to do this job.   If you do, go the full trip.  I know how you feel about “the company” ruining your beloved transcription.  I was a transcriptionist too.  You have to let it go.  You cannot go into this coding course with suspicion and feeling like “they are out to get you” or you will never succeed.  Believe me, I know it’s not easy, but you must find a way to look at this differently.  Go into it with a fresh perspective, yes you can change your thinking!  You are getting something, they are getting something.  If you want it, take it and get all you can out of it.  Good luck!
