Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Speak the Language

Ten modules cover anatomy, equipment, drugs and body systems. Once terminology stops slowing you down, the job speeds up.

Use the Software Clinics Use

Medtech Evolution runs in thousands of practices. Students get live access. The system on day one is already familiar.

Add Transcription on Top

Reports, discharge summaries and clinical letters have their own rules. The transcription certificate covers formatting, style and checking your work.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Three certificates in one: medical reception, medical terminology, and medical transcription.

01
Wider Than a Reception Course

Reception gets you the desk. Terminology and transcription get you the records room and the letters. That is the step up.

02
Named Tutors

The college publishes who teaches this one. Tutors are listed by name. They answer the phone in business hours.

03
An Office Professionals Link

A link with the Australian Institute of Office Professionals opens doors. Networking events and career resources come with it.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need healthcare experience?

None is required. The course starts with the reception role. Terminology builds from there.

How long does it take?

Around 250 hours of study, with six months of access. Most students work through it beside a job.

What does it cost?

Plans start from $29 a week, paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. No deposit and no credit check apply.

Is this course nationally recognised?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. The college is not an RTO, so it is not nationally recognised. Practices tend to hire on terminology and software skill.

What is the difference from the reception certificate?

Reception is one of the three certificates here. This one adds medical terminology and transcription on top.

Can I extend the course?

Access runs for six months. The college does not extend the medical transcription portion. Plan that part with room to spare.

How is the course assessed?

Through activities and assignments across each certificate. There are no exams.

What if I change my mind?

A ten day money back guarantee applies from enrolment. Contact the college inside that window.
