Any other VLC students having problems with accessing grades,forums etc. - Maemoo

Posted: Dec 23, 2009

Haven't got any feedback from instructors in weeks and any emails to them are returned with "permanent fatal errors". Found 2 other students with the same problem as of today. Would like to know if there are any others. If anyone is affiliated with the VLC school on here I would greatly appreciate some answers. I'm getting really frustrated because I'm nearing the end of the course and have invested $1500.oo and almost 2 years of my time. To wind up with nothing to show for it at this point would not be good. Especially with jobloss looming and an uncertain economy. If the company has gone belly-up, I think a reason why would be greatly appreciated to their students.

Thanks for listening.

I have been waiting 2 weeks to receive a response to my last submitted graded report. Carol, my instructor, is typically slow in responding, but I have a sinking feeling that the school has closed down. I can't access the forum or my grade book. It does not look very encouraging at this point. I am very disappointed and angry right now!!!

Were in the same boat! - Maemoo

Yes, looks like you've been disapointed as well. It seems the VLC has taken our money (I spent 3500.00) and time (enrolled since 3/2008) and jumped ship. I would hope that they have the common courtesy to let all students know what has happened and what steps should be taken to either finish the course or get reimbursed funds.
Keep us posted if you find out anything on your own.
Holiday wishes.

I'm not an MTSO, never was, and never would be if I could help it. In one of the threads below someone mentioned that some larger MTSOs hold it against someone if they post something on a forum like this. I put myself in the position of the MTSO for a moment. What would I do if someone contacted me and told me that one of the MTs that was working for me was trashing me on a public forum. I would go look at it. If I knew who they were, I wouldn't send them any additional work. It wouldn ...

Is there a way to access other reports on a patient to view their previous medications and diagnoses when you can barely understand the dictating doctor? I keep asking my supervisor, but I get the feeling I'm getting the run-around and I don't know why. If there is no such function, or I'm not allowed to access it, I wish they'd just tell me. Everywhere I've worked before, this sort information was available, and it helped enormously, but here, I ...

This might be a foolish question, but are all the posts on MT school forums for real? I won't mention the school, but it seems that after several complaints about MT work, there's a sudden rush of "look how much money I'm making" posts. Seems a little too good to be true. Are there really people out there pulling in some good funds, or is this more like advertising for the school/MT industry? ...

One new nurse was told that her skills are stale and she needs to go through a "refresher" course, which costs $2,000 before she will be able to get a job. Another one has been looking for work for 6 months with no luck. I went over there to see if people in other kinds of work eat their young as MTs sometimes do. I thought maybe everyone else was happy and enjoying successful careers. Apparently not. These are tough times. I think sometimes we generalize so much that we depress each other. N ...

Does anyone know why when I'm typing in the message field here, the font is coming out rather light and choppy? Example: Part of the "f" letter is missing. (All the letters have an issue.) This happens on my computer as well as another computer in my household--so it's not something with just my computer. The Subject field, Nickname/Alias field and E-mail field type out fine. The final product after physically submitting is showing up fine. ...

When I press CTRL+SHFT+F5 while I'm editing a job, a new window opens and it goes to the regular manager screen (where you check your statistics and QA feedback).

Are any other VLC students out there hearing anything from VLC? (See my earlier post...) My emails don't seem to be getting through, I can't get hold of them on the phone - just voicemail - and they've not returned the message I left. Two assignments I sent 9 days ago have not been reviewed. $1500 for this course was way too much to be left in the air like this, never mind the 18 months of work for nothing! Their forums are down so I� ...

I know that there are a lot of programs, but does anyone know how many actual students there are or new graduates each year? Will there be enough jobs to support that many students/new grads or will there not be enough new MTs to fill positions? I am very curious about this as I am considering medical transcription and the information out there is confusing. ...

I am just wondering if any other coding students sometimes feel so overwhelmed, especially trying to work full time and study. I knew going into this that it wasn't going to be easy. One thing I have learned through all of this is that, yes there is a code for that, but you need to learn how to find it (even if it doesn't make one bit of sense)! :) ...
