Once enrolled, you will be sent out a textbook covering the different units.  After reading a unit you are given several exercises to test yourself on.  When you feel ready do the assignments and send these into your tutor for marking.  The tutor will send out feedback.  If there are any areas which need working on, the tutor will ask you to repeat that section again.

Deciding between Medical Reception and Medical Terminology
If you have had office experience medical terminology is the course to take first (it may be all you need). An accredited medical terminology course looks very good on your resume. If you can't decide which course to take, the recommendation is if you have had no office experience take medical reception first.

Medical Terminology
The systems covered include: Integumentary, Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Blood & Lymph, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Nervous, Optic, Auditory, Urinary, Reproductive, Obstetrics, Endocrine, Oncology, Psychiatry, Pharmacology, Clinical Pathology and Radiology. Exercises on these sections are self corrected from answers in the back of the book. Assessments are sent into the tutor.

Medical Typing
For this transcription part of this course students receive a cd which can either be played in a computer or on a cd player.
