TypeWell Basic Skills Package

The Basic Skills Course teaches the fundamental skills necessary to provide text-based, meaning-for-meaning communication access. This distance learning course combines interactive training software with individualized feedback from a team of experienced teachers. 

The training package also includes two Skill Consultations conducted by a TypeWell teacher following completion of the course. This ensures that newer transcribers receive an opportunity for first-year mentoring feedback once they’re in a live environment.

To qualify for the Basic Skills Course, candidates must meet certain minimum requirements; screening tests are included in the free online application.
