Internship Opportunity

Internship Program for Transcriptionists (offered to students who reside in the US only)

Win-win program for TCI graduates and transcription companies

Once you've passed the course with a final course score above 80, you can get practical experience by doing an unpaid internship for a transcription company. As a transcription intern, you will gain valuable industry experience. During the internship, you will be asked to commit to transcribing up to 5 hours of recorded audio. There is a possible opportunity for employment after your internship period ends.

Here’s how it works:

• The Transcription Certification Institute has a list of transcription companies interested in hiring TCI graduates as interns.
• Transcriptionists who pass the course will automatically be eligible to qualify for an internship opportunity.
• Interns are required to commit to transcribing up to five hours of recorded audio.
• Interns are required to meet the existing standards of the transcription company that they are interning for.
• Once the internship has been completed, the transcription company will provide a letter of completion and agrees to be a reference for the transcriptionist.
• Transcriptionists are NOT required to work for the transcription company after the internship completion.
• The transcription company is NOT committing any future work after the internship completion.

Here are the transcription internship program details:

Transcriptionists:

The internship gives TCI graduates an opportunity to gain real-world experience by transcribing files for real clients. This will help our graduates gain work experience and a reference to help them establish a career in transcription.

Here is how the process works:

• You opt-in for internship after passing your certification program.
• You will sign up as independent contractor with the transcription company providing you internship.
• The transcription company will send you the paperwork needed to become an independent contractor.
• You commit to transcribing up to five hours of recording at no cost to the transcription company.
• You ONLY accept projects where you can meet accuracy requirements and the deadline.
• You transcribe the recording on time and send the transcripts to the company.

Note: The transcription company that you intern for does not guarantee employment or further work once the internship has been completed.

Transcription Company:

Transcription companies provide real work to TCI graduates. The only requirement is to guide the transcriptionist, provide a letter detailing job performance, and a reference if needed.

• Agree to provide work to the transcriptionist during the internship.
• Send all relevant paperwork to hire transcriptionists as independent contractors.
• Provide a letter of completion after five hours of transcription is completed. Rate the certified transcriptionist in the letter based on their performance.
• Provide a reference for the transcriptionist, if requested.
• Consider the transcriptionist for ongoing work if their transcripts meet the company’s standards.
