844-897-3935To ensure consistent, high-quality communication access, TypeWell requires transcribers to maintain active skills. If your service qualification has been revoked due to a long break or skill lapse, you may be eligible for reinstatement.
The first step is to complete a short Refresher Screening Inquiry. This helps us look up your training history and determine the best path forward.
NOTE: Transcribers who trained prior to 2007 will bypass the screening and proceed directly to the full Refresher Course.
Possible Reinstatement Paths
🔍 Refresher Screening
If your break from transcribing has been 5 years or less, you may be eligible to bypass the full course through a Skill Consultation. This brief, remote screening assesses your readiness to resume services.
- Cost: $150
- If the full Refresher Course is later recommended, this amount is credited toward the course fee.
🎓 Refresher Course
If recommended after screening—or if you trained prior to 2007—you'll be invited to apply for the full Refresher Course.
- Cost: $699
- Learn more about the Refresher Course here.
- Includes access to training software, instructor feedback, and optional support during your first semester back.
Why Screening First?
The screening helps us:
- Confirm your training history
- Assess whether you still meet our service standards
- Offer the most appropriate and cost-effective next step
