Enjoyed studying this unit. It was easy to navigate, compile research and understand the content. Student support team is fantastic. They reply to your emails promptly and are always on hand to assist over the phone. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to commence a career in the healthcare / medical field.

Susan Dartnell – 21/06/2022

I really enjoyed studying this unit, it allowed me to attain the knowledge and understanding of how words are used and how to use them in medical terms. I particularly enjoyed having to research certain aspects of medical terminology. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in working in the medical field.

Francesca Cridland (verified owner) – 14/12/2021

I really enjoyed this unit. The content was well organised, paced and interesting. It also provided necessary underpinning knowledge for further study in the Diploma of Healthcare Documentation. Learning support was excellent.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start at any time?

Yes, you can enrol online at anytime, 365 days a year. Alternatively, please call 03 9937 1599. Once enrolled, your course login details will be issued within 1-2 business days.

How long does the course take?

TalentMed’s BSBMED301 course is delivered entirely online, so you can progress through your studies at a time and place that best suits you. We recommend that you study at least 5 hours/week to complete the course within the 12-week intended timeframe. However, if you devote more time to your studies, you can finish the program sooner.

What support services are available?

At TalentMed, we’re with you every step of the way with support resources that include:

Qualified Trainers and Assessors with decades of experience in the Healthcare industry. These trainers have professional experience in both vocational education and healthcare documentation, making them uniquely qualified to answer questions about both the curriculum and the industry.
Student Support Advisers who provide valuable information and assistance with any administrative issues during your coursework. The course may be delivered online, but you’re never in it alone.
Technical Support Advisers who are knowledgeable, experienced, and available five days a week to help you work through any technical or access issues encountered within the course.

Please note, we offer tailored support options to suit your needs.

This flexible approach ensures that individuals always have the opportunity to receive the guidance they need, while maintaining a cost-effective solution.

What's the main difference between the 'Solo Learner' and 'Guided Learner' support package?

Aside from the table above, the main difference is having direct access to a fully qualified trainer if you have any questions along the way.

The Solo Learner package includes fast and unlimited live chat + email support with our dedicated Student admin and Technical support teams. This package is designed for self-motivated individuals who excel in online learning environments and require little to no assistance from trainers. If you find yourself needing more than this, Solo Learners can book 1:1 support sessions with their trainer under a pay-as-you-go arrangement. These 20-minute sessions are highly cost effective and are priced at $60 AUD, if the need arises. Assessments are graded by a fully qualified assessor within 10 business days.

Whereas the Guided Learner package includes direct 1:1 Trainer support via Live Chat, Phone and Email as well as a certain number of free 1:1 Support sessions. This package is best suited if you’re new to the Healthcare industry and/or require a little extra help with online learning. As part of this package, assessments are grades faster within 5 business days so that you can move through the units and graduate sooner. The Guided Learner package also includes job search assistance upon course completion and printed (as well as digital) copies of your AQF compliant documents.

Can I change support packages once I commence my course?

Your support package is tied directly to your tuition fee, so we cannot change this once you commence your course.

However, Solo Learners have the option to access pay-as-you-go direct trainer support which can be booked in 20-minute 1:1 sessions and priced at $60 AUD.

Is the course unit nationally recognised?

Yes, TalentMed’s BSBMED301 Interpret and apply medical terminology appropriately course unit is nationally recognised.

Upon successful completion of this medical terminology unit, you will receive a nationally recognised <strong>Statement of Attainment</strong>. This transcript can be used to apply for Credit Transfer (CT) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) with TalentMed courses or other nationally recognised training.

Being the number one RTO in healthcare education, TalentMed is the first place that you should look to upgrade your skills. A TalentMed education gives employers confidence that you have the practical skills and industry knowledge to perform your role.

In addition, TalentMed’s expert-created curriculum is specifically designed around the Australian Healthcare industry rather than adopted from generic information.

Is the training industry approved?

TalentMed continuously seeks industry feedback to ensure its training and assessment materials are relevant to workplace needs. As such, TalentMed undertakes extensive industry engagement to ensure its courses are aligned to employer and industry stakeholder expectations.

What are the entry requirements?

Minimum academic entry requirements

To be assessed as academically suited for this medical terminology course, you must provide either:

a copy of your Australian Year 10 Certificate or higher, or
evidence of successful completion of an Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) Certificate II or higher qualification (where the language of instruction is English).

If you do not have an Australian Year 10 Certificate or have not successfully completed an AQF Certificate II or higher qualification, we will send you login details to complete a quick Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) pre-assessment to confirm your suitability for the course. Students must demonstrate Exit Level 2 (or higher) competency in both reading and numeracy.

Minimum online learning competency

This medical terminology course is delivered online. As such, entry to the course requires you to be proficient with operating a personal computer. You will be specifically asked about your online learning competency as part of your pre-training review to evaluate your suitability for the course.

Minimum age

Minimum age of 16 years. If you are under 18 your enrolment form must be signed by a parent or guardian.

English language requirements

This medical terminology course requires you to read, write and understand the english language. As such, entry to the course requires English proficiency at a Year 10 level or equivalency such as a NRT qualification at the Certificate II level or higher, or two years industry experience in a role that requires the use of both written and verbal communication.

Alignment with personal and/or professional needs

Applicants must also be able to demonstrate that their course of interest aligns to their personal or professional needs.

Students with disabilities

Please contact us on 03 9937 1599 to find out more about ways that we can assist you.

Can I re-sit the LLN test?

As per normal VET assessment procedures, especially with regard to pre-training assessments, the assessment should only be initially administered once. In order for the learner and TalentMed to implement any targeted LLN support and to have sufficient time for the learner to improve their LLN skills to the required level, a minimum period of no less than three months is required between undertaking further assessments using the approved tool. It may take longer than this, but at least three months should provide enough time for progress to be made and improvement to be able to be demonstrated.

TalentMed believes that this is not about ‘passing the test’, as can be the practice in some situations, and re-sitting the test a number of times until the learner eventually passes. This is not the purpose of undertaking this assessment for course suitability purposes. The purpose of the LLN test is to assess whether the learner has sufficient skills to potentially succeed in undertaking a Diploma level qualification or higher. Allowing learners to keep re-sitting until they pass would not be a fair or valid process. It is TalentMed’s goal to provide targeted LLN support and to allow the learner to have sufficient time to improve their LLN skills to the required level.

At the end of the day, this requirement is aimed at protecting your learning needs and ensuring the course is suitable for your success.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes, please view our current Student Refund Policy and Procedure available here.

Do you have government funding?

Yes, you may be eligible for the Government’s Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers (SCOW) program to help fund up to $2000 towards your tuition fee. Please check out our dedicated webpage available here for more details.

Do you offer instalment plans?

Yes, you can pay nothing today and spread out your tuition fee with up to 6-months interest free through Zip Money.

Repayments are automatically direct debited from the payment method that you added when you created the account. You can change the payment method at any time and the frequency of your payments to weekly, fortnightly or monthly as long as you’re covering the minimum monthly repayments. Choose what works best for you and see their website for full terms and conditions.

I am in the early stages of my training with Talentmed, but I am so impressed with the content and the presentation. I have completed a previous Diploma via online learning and have found Talentmed's programme so much easier and far more supportive than that I experienced before. Having left a 20 year career in management administration due to circumstances that required me to be full time at home as a carer, I was despairing of ever finding a career that I could both learn and practice from home. Searching through Indeed and Seek led me to Ozescribe as one of the few genuine work from home opportunities, and that led me to Talentmed. I'm so glad it did! I'm truly enjoying the course, and can't wait to finish and send an expression of interest to Ozescribe. I would recommend Talentmed's programme to anyone seeking a genuine work from home career.
A new life and career awaits, can't wait to get started!
Give it a try!
Regards, Karen Schulz.

Michelle Dohnt

I am the Operations Manager for Ozescribe and can not rate Talentmed any higher. If you are interested in joining the Medical Transcription Industry then TalentMed is your number one choice ! Medical Transcription in a home based environment is a growing industry and I am in constant need of hiring new graduates. Work is plentiful as we have the market share - which continues to grow. I encourage all of you to do your research and make an informed decision about entering this new career and I would be more than happy to discuss all things Medical Transcription with you !!! All the best Michelle Dohnt

Sharon Needham

I began this Diploma course two weeks ago and enjoying it so much. The support from TalentMed is exceptional. If there was a 10 star rating, I'd give it that.

Scott Hind

Started this course recntly and i am finding it to be a very well supported. I look forward to the remaining modules and the support form the TalentMed team and fellow students.

Jennifer Chappell

I have just graduated from the TalentMed course and I have had the privilege of having the best trainers/mentors I have ever come across in any educational setting. Nothing is too much trouble for them, be it queries, IT, questions about the course and even if you have personal problems. I could not recommend them and the course enough. I am just sorry I have finished and don’t have their support anymore.

Judy Coldicott

I don't know why I never considered doing a Diploma of Healthcare Documentation sooner. I don't have experience this this field but I can honestly say that I am looking forward to finishing this course - interesting topics. Looking forward to a new career that I could have not imagined. The platform of this course is simple and easy to navigate, can access this 24/7 (even better :D) not only that but a team of excellent trainers who are happy to help and are very responsive with your concerns.

Becky Pammenter

A great online platform for learning, very supportive online tutors , access to a huge array of material 24/7. I’m currently studying medical transcription and it’s a fantastic course. Highly recommend TalentMed

Dinah Campbell

Cara Hodgson

This is a wonderful course. I learnt so much not only in transcription but the industry itself. The help given by the TalentMed support crew was amazing, especially Mary & Ann Marie from student support without them it would have been so much harder to complete.

Jane Clare

This course has been perfect for me as I have an insatiable love of learning, and in this field the learning never stops! It is well-structured, with an incredible level of student support (special thanks to Anne-Marie and Raisa for this) and plenty of hands-on practical transcription experience. Looking forward to working in this field!

Esther Thorp

I have just completed my training with TalentMed and I just had to let you all know how wonderful it was! From the easy to navigate interface, the incredible in-depth training I received to the fantastic support from the trainers - I have to say a big THANK YOU to them! I definitely recommend studying with TalentMed. You won't regret it!

Karen Long

I have just recently graduated, the support from the trainers was excellent. The course work was manageable around my home and work life. Even though I do not have a medical background I found that the course layout was not complicated but at times it did feel like I was doing a medical degree. On completion of the course I was put in touch with NTS and am now doing a two week trial, the process was easy.

Deb Carpenter

I have recently completed my Diploma in Healthcare Documentation. This has been an amazing and at times, challenging course but money well spent. The amount of material supplied, the relevance of the entire course content, and support and feedback given by the expert trainers has been exceptional throughout the entire course. Not to mention the new found skills and knowledge developed along the way. Great course, highly recommend it!

Belinda Wijaya

I did not regret enrolling to this course, especially during difficult times like now. I like that I can go at my own pace doing this course and even though it is an online course, I can still receive a lot of help and support from TalentMed team and my instructor. Thank you for the opportunities you have given us to work from home :)

Alexander Ong

I graduated with the Diploma of Healthcare Documentation about a month ago.

Coming from a science background, the course was somewhat easy for me except for the transcription block where it was sometimes challenging to decipher what the doctors were saying on the recordings. That said the course was very easy to follow and all my queries were addressed in a professional manner.

What I love about TalentMed is the constant non-judgemental support they give up to the point of graduation. As I currently have a job, I asked if they were ok for me to approach them for help in transcription job-searching when I decide to gain employment as a medical transcriptionist and they told me they were happy to help. On the phone after my final assessment, my course assessor also told me all the details surrounding employment (eg I will not be on my own at the start and all my work will be checked by a senior transcriptionist; the 'five-year experience' required by employers is waived by completing this diploma) and I appreciate that very much.

I took more than a year to complete the course but that was because I had other commitments - I love how you could do it in your own timing and you could have multiple attempts on assessments (though I did not have to repeat any). I would say most people with full-time or part-time jobs should complete the course within a year, otherwise fastest at six months.

As this diploma by TalentMed is the only one that is officially recognised in Australia for medical transcription, anyone looking for employment in this industry should not hesitate to sign up for this course at TalentMed.

The amount of practice recordings in Block 3 were many a time overwhelming (which is actually a good thing for practice) and some were just too challenging for me (sometimes it's not our fault, it's the poor quality recording from the hospitals or the way the doctors dictate things) and I wanted to just give up all the time, but fortunately most recordings are not too hard, answers are provided after each attempt and being able to complete it in my own timing made me press on to completion. You learn to develop sharper listening skills and your own way of working around challenges in listening when transcribing reports - I treasure this new learnt skill from this course a lot and you will begin to subconsciously apply this even in everyday settings, at work and at home when communicating with others. Additionally, you gain science and medical knowledge, especially how doctors diagnose, manage and treat diseases and patients and who knows when this knowledge could come in handy in your own life! Hence going through this course can truly be a life-changing process.

Time, initiative (eg doing your own research) and perseverance are needed to complete this course, especially for those without a science background, but take everything a step at a time, set small and achievable goals with this course each day (it is ok to take breaks and come back to the course when you feel ready to tackle it again and it is also ok to make mistakes - you learn best from your mistakes), make sure you get enough rest (because alertness and not sleepiness is key to successfully transcribing the dictations), take every step of the course as a new educational experience (don't be overly frustrated and be patient with the process) and you will have gained a brand new skill at the end of the day.

Working online or alone in a healthcare setting is such an ideal job for a person like me and I am happy that I have such a cert in hand so that I can use it if I need to in the future.

Thank you TalentMed for making this such a valuable educational experience.

Mill Gen

I recently finished my Diploma in Healthcare Documentation with TalentMed. It has been a challenging, interesting and rewarding experience overall. The course work is well set out and easy to follow with tonnes of reference materials online and fantastic support staff always keeping students up to date. Even over the last few weeks of my course during the challenges of COVID-19 Ann-Marie, Raisa and Lauren were prompt with their responses and assistance. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to experience what it is REALLY like to be a medical transcriptionist and I look forward to starting my new career when things get back to normal. Thanks!

Don Robin Fergusson

Have enjoyed course so far. It is certainly stretching my brain.

Vinda Velasco

I love the flexibility, the support of the team and the promising future that it will bring with the use of technology and research.
I have just graduated the course after almost 3 years but I persevere and aim to the finish line.
Thank you Talentmed for your help and understanding.

Kathryn O'Brien

I recently finished and passed the course and I highly recommend it. It was challenging and exacting and I liked that. I am looking forward to starting transcriptions in the real world as other students who have passed have done. Making a start in a new career is difficult and requires a lot of hard work and I think this course teaches that. If I could pass this course while working full-time I can do anything.

Rose Stewart

I have just finished the course and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get into this as a career, sometimes the course can be frustrating, but I am 55 and working in a factory, it's time for me to get out of factory work, I have always wanted to be a transcriptionist but couldn't afford to do this course, now Talenmed has made it possible for anyone to do it with the VET FEE help, highly recommended, this was the best choice I have made by far

Bffjc Macwat

i was enrolled in the course but was unable to finish it. I am hoping to restart again this year. I enjoyed the course but should have set aside more time to finish it

Maria Blundell

I have recently graduated and received my Diploma of Healthcare Documentation. I am very proud of myself for completing this challenging course. I look forward to starting work as a Medical Transcriptionist. The trainers were all wonderfully helpful.

Tonya Walker

I have always wanted to do this type of work, and now that I have the opportunity, I am going to give it a go and do the very best possible. I am grateful that it will give me experience and knowledge to go further in my career. Thank you TalendMed.

Louisa Anne

Hi Finished this course just before Christmas. Due to health reasons, I needed to find another job, (previously I had my own cleaning business), and being able to have a job that I can work from home would be perfect. I have always had an interest in the medical field, and this would be perfect. I loved the course, I did find it quite challenging at times, sometimes I even thought of giving up, but I didn't and now here I am, a Qualified Medical Transcriptionist :-)
The support from Talentmed was great! I am so glad I did this :-)

Larissa Piscuc

As a new mum I wanted to find work that was flexible, and from home! The trainers were absolutely fantastic in supporting, but most importantly the course work is very informative and resourceful to use in future work as well. I have found work before even finishing the diploma and can absolutely say without the course I would have a difficult time understanding a lot of medical terms and the correct processes of transcribing. Highly recommend, especially if you are a fast typer. I now have time to stay with my little one and earn an extra income in the household when I have the time.

Leah Collins

Loving the course so far and everyone is so helpful and lovely :)
