Audio Transcription – Premium

Launch Your Career with Confidence

The Audio Transcription Premium course is the gold standard for aspiring transcriptionists. While our Pro course teaches you how to transcribe, the Premium package teaches you how to master the industry.

Designed for serious learners who want to fast-track their path to high-paying clients, this course combines advanced technical training with personalized feedback from working professionals.

🌟 Why Upgrade to Premium?

1. Personal Mentorship & Feedback Don’t guess if you are doing it right. In the Premium tier, you are assigned a dedicated tutor. You will submit three “milestone” assignments (general, medical, and legal) for detailed, line-by-line feedback. This personalized coaching is crucial for fixing habits that automated software misses.

2. Specialist Industry Certification General transcription pays standard rates. Specialized transcription pays premium rates. This course includes two deep-dive modules not found in the Standard/Pro versions:

• Medical Transcription: Learn the formatting of patient history, discharge summaries, and operative reports. Includes a downloadable glossary of common medical terminology.

• Legal Transcription: Master court templates, police interview formatting (PACE standards), and legal Latin terms.

3. “Business in a Box” Toolkit We don’t just teach you to type; we help you build a business.

• Rate Calculator: A spreadsheet to help you calculate per-audio-minute rates based on your typing speed.

• Client Contracts: Customizable legal templates for freelancer contracts and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs).

• CV/Resume Review: Our career team will review your CV to ensure it highlights your new certification effectively.
