Looking forward to working in this field!read more

I finished my course with TalentMed in Nov of last year and found it to be an extremely rewarding experience giving me the foundation I need to pursue a career as a Medical Transcriptionist. The team at TalentMed were amazing to deal with right from the very first phone call I ever made to the last one upon completion of the course. I was then referred to a well known transcription company and I now have secured a position and am employed in this field. This was a worthwhile investment of time and money for me as now I am reaping the rewards. Thank you TalentMed.read more

I have just graduated as a Medical Transcriptionist and I really appreciate the support and encouragement Anne Marie and the whole TalentMed team gave me along the way. Even at times when I thought it was impossible, I got the best backup ever. I really enjoyed studying for the Diploma and I would recommend to anyone who is interested, as the TalendMed team is understanding, friendly and patient at all times, and you could call them and they are ready to help anytime. They even help out in finding job placements on completion of the course. All the best, TalentMed!read more

I 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 :-)read more

I have a special interest in medicine and come from a Greek background. Therefore I can understand how medical terminology is structured. I qualified in stenography where speed and accuracy is paramount. My journey so far with TalentMed has been memorable. I have been challenged and tested by the course content and assisted by TalentMed trainers every step of the way. Their experience and knowledge is priceless. The main reason I had to embark on this learning journey was that I can work from home once I have qualified. I am eager to learn and attain my diploma in such a specialised and skilled field as a Medical Transcriptionist. Maria Aloneftisread more

Within 1week of graduating the graduation support team had sent me details of a job opportunity, and along with this you receive access to information on how to apply for future jobs and other important topics relating to life after graduation.

As a late starter to Jump into doing a course let alone a Diploma has been the most rewarding thing I have done. Thanks to Talentmed they had me hang in there through the tough times with a lot of tremendous support,Thanks Ann-Marie Sponge. I would recommend Talentmed to anyone wanting to further a career change into transcribing either to work independently or for a company. It certainly was not an easy course, but it was good to follow others through Facebook to know that you weren't the only one that had bumps along the way and that we could all support each other.

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.read more

When I started with the course, it was on career step. But I transitioned to Australian course and that was the best thing that happened. Although at that time I wasn't happy, eventually it turned out to be more relevant. I enjoyed the course and the transcription modules.

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.read more

I am SO excited about undertaking this course. I am only in the early stages of the modules but it is extremely well organised and presented. Every aspect of the computer is looked at, which is very important when you start doing the transcribing work later on. I am a retired lady and want to earn some cash to compliment my pension as I just love to spend money. Working from home will be a bonus also. I have every faith in TalentMed assisting me to get work when I finish the course, and I know from past similar work I have done that it is important to be dedicated, accurate and efficient at using the sources available to complete the work in a professional manner. Merry Christmas to everyone. Vicki (Melbourne)read more

I have studied a few different courses over my time, I have enrolled in some online courses as well. I was truly skeptical about enrolling in another online course because some of the courses that I had previously enrolled with did not come up to my expectations. I found them to be extremely difficult due to the absence of resources and the one off cost basically ran much higher due to myself having to buy resources outside, that cost me a fair amount. I, with some hesitation, had enrolled with Talent Med and I haven't looked back. I am truly happy (over the moon) with the course. The Student Support is impeccable as well as the course overall. I have recommended this course to some friends, one of which is truly interested in enrolling. I love the course, I feel a great amount of satisfaction when finishing each unit/block. I am very excited and cant wait to finish it. Medical Transcription and Editing has really made a difference in my life due to gaining knowledge in the medical field as well as the body personally.read more

The course is very thorough and has great features built in to help you with the quality of your study.

At 61 I thought I'd be too old to do this course. I find age is no barrier. The course is comprehensive, instructive, and surprisingly enjoyable to do. I would advise anyone, no matter your age, contemplating undertaking Medical Transcription with TalentMed to go for it. I've learned things about the body that are amazing, curious, astounding and downright funny. I enjoy the little games along the way and the humor within the lessons - all carefully crafted for the mind to recall easily - thus we learn. Should I be able to work in this industry after graduation I will be delighted. Should things not fall my way, I will have spent my money wisely and enjoyed the experience. Thank you TalentMed.read more

The staff at TalentMed have been incredibly understanding and helpful and I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you TalentMed.read more

Having been on workcover for over three years with PTSD, I wanted to find something that I could work from home in a safe environment. I started this course almost a year ago, thanks to my workcover agent and although I am still not finished and have had an extension approved, I am getting better and better every day and this course is helping me immensely with my recovery. The step-by-step, page-by-page way this course is structured, helps me set and achieve goals and eventually become a well respected transcriber/editor.read more

I completed the TalentMed Medical Transcription course in April this year, but shortly afterwards I went with my husband to live in the WA outback. Because of the challenging situation there I was not able to start working in medical transcription. I am currently living back in Melbourne and finishing the business units that go with the course. I hope to start employment next year. I enjoyed doing the course and the support was excellent. The course is very comprehensive and it is easy to progress through each module. Yes, towards the end of the course it was quite challenging and required perseverance, but I know this was necessary preparation for the job. Because I am past retirement age it is becoming harder for me to find employment, so I decided that working from home would be ideal for me. Being able to choose my own hours is another plus. I believe there is a great need for medical transcriptionists, so I do not expect that it will be difficult to find work. I would encourage anyone who likes the idea of working from home, has a good grasp of the English language and some computer and typing skills to do this course.read more

I felt great trepidation when I first started this course as to whether it was the right decision - it's such a lot of money if you're not sure it's going to work out. However, I have now been working for Ozescribe since May 2015 after completing my course. Yes, it is a very comprehensive course and not for the fainthearted. It's not for everyone and sometimes it will seem like you're never going to get there but you will!. Just keep at it. The course really does provide you with the best tuition and knowledge you will need in your workplace. The team at TalentMed are terrific too and so supportive. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to follow a career in medical transcription especially now that you can get government funding. I missed out on that but still feel it was money well spent.read more

I was quite unsure what to expect as I embarked on my first online course in Medical Transcription. Studying was not something I was excited about jumping into, but I am extremely glad that I made that decision. The customer service people at TalentMed eased my apprehension by answering all my questions and guiding me through the process of working out whether this was the right direction for me. Now that I am on the 'home-stretch' of the course, I can happily testify to the great service I have received. TalentMed offers a fantastic course with extremely comprehensive content in order to prepare students enter the Medical Transcription workforce.
