Start Your Training Journey

Qualified applicants, after being admitted, can select from the available start dates listed above. Note that the transcribing course doesn't start immediately after admittance! Rather, a candidate must choose a course start date from the options provided.

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 complete the course as quickly as possible, here’s what you can do:

  1. Apply early: Secure your spot in the next cohort as soon as possible.
  2. Dedicate time daily: Once your course begins, plan to work several hours a day to stay on track.

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

Starting in 2025, the Basic Skills Course will follow a structured schedule with two training seasons:

  • Spring Cohort: Late April to late May
  • Fall Cohort: Late August to late September

These training windows are designed to ensure trainees have enough time to complete the course before the next academic term. 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 reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. To secure your preferred date, follow these steps:

  1. Complete the application and be admitted.
  2. Finalize your enrollment by completing payment.
  3. Log in to your online TypeWell account and advance to the "Pick Start Date" step.
