Do I need transcription experience?

No. The course builds the typing patterns transcription depends on — punctuation, speaker labels, timestamps — from the ground up.

Does it cover medical and legal work?

Yes. Dedicated lessons drill medical transcription and legal/court-reporting formatting and vocabulary.

What speed will I reach?

The lessons build to 50 WPM sustained accuracy on certification-level passages. Individual results vary.

How long do I have access?

Six weeks of full access from purchase — enough to complete every lesson and practice your weak areas.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Finish the course and you earn a verifiable completion certificate with a unique certificate number an employer can look up - add it to your resume and LinkedIn as a continuing-education credential that helps you stand out to hiring managers. (TypeThrive is not an accredited school; the certificate verifies course completion for employment and skills-verification purposes, not academic accreditation.)
