Currently Available Start Dates

We're sorry -- there are no available start dates at this time. 
Please check back later or join the Training Interest List to be notified when the next cohort opens. 

Start Your Training Journey

Qualified, sponsored applicants will be invited to enroll once a new Basic Skills Course cohort is scheduled. Training does not begin immediately after admission; candidates wait until the next confirmed cohort start date.

Each candidate works with our experienced teaching team, a defining feature that ensures the highest quality training experience for future TypeWell transcribers.

If You Are in a Hurry

To begin as soon as possible, here’s what you can do:

  1. Apply early: Complete the free application so you’re ready when the next cohort opens.
  2. Secure a sponsor: Only candidates with confirmed sponsorship are eligible for enrollment.
  3. Join the Interest List: Add your name to the Training Interest List to receive updates about new start dates.

Why Timing Matters

Job opportunities for transcribers are highest at the start of each academic term. Completing your training before the Fall term (late August) or the Winter term (mid-January) positions you to secure work when demand is at its peak.

New Training Cohorts

Beginning in 2025, the Basic Skills Course follows a cohort-based schedule. New cohorts are typically launched in the spring or early summer, depending on the number of sponsored applicants on our waiting list.

Most trainees take 2–3 months to finish, so planning ahead is essential.

For additional details, see the course schedule.

Reserving Your Spot

Start dates are arranged through your sponsoring organization. To prepare:

  1. Complete the application and indicate your sponsor.
  2. Wait for confirmation from TypeWell when new cohort dates are available.
  3. Your sponsor will receive registration and payment instructions before you select your official start date.
