At Home Professions Weston Distance Learning Inc Scam, Lie, Cheat, Fort Collins, Colorado

Yes one of the boards has to schedule the appointment, You cannot and will not be able to just call Prometric and schedule the RMT/CMT test. Plus there are no employers that hire with just a completion certificate they all want experience and I don't care what you have to say, it's false. Yeah you're legit to say you can teach people theses skills in 5 months but for half the price and 6 more months so can alot of other places! Someone I know works for a certified testing center, I KNOW THE RULES! And you should tell your seminar employees to not say they are approved by AHDI when you aren't!

We are glad to have the opportunity to respond to this post. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion throughout this post. At-Home Professions is an educational member of AHDI. As such, AHDI allows the use of their Education Member logo. An educational member is not necessarily an AHDI accredited school. The definition of educational member can be found on AHDIs website at the following link: http://www.ahdionline.org/MemberCenter/JoinAHDI/CategoriesandBenefits/tabid/221/Default.aspx. Please review the back page of the brochure you received at the seminar for the logo described above.

At this point in time, AHDI is not even accepting new accreditation self-study applications. Per AHDIs website at 5:22 pm on August 23, 2012: As of March 2012, the AHDI Education Approval Program has been temporarily suspended as AHDI works on streamlining policies and procedures. The list of currently approved schools will remain online during this time. We anticipate reinstating the program later this year. New self-study application submission dates will be announced when the program is reinstated (source: http://www.ahdionline.org/Careers/NewMTTraining/AboutEducationProgramApproval/tabid/210/Default.aspx). AHP is accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. The Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency for distance education.

Corby provided accurate information about the certification exams. AHDIs RMT/CMT exams do not need to be scheduled by the school. A quick check on AHDIs webpage shows what a transcriptionist needs to do to take the licensing exam: http://www.ahdionline.org/Certification/SignUpforanExam/tabid/531/Default.aspx

AHP does not offer job placement or imply it offers job placement. The schools brochures and scripts are carefully reviewed regularly to ensure its materials are accurate and do not use terms such as job placement. The school offers graduate counseling.  Please refer to the FAQ page of the brochure handed out at the seminar or the page titled How We Assist Our Graduates. An excerpt from that page says, If you need assistance, call our toll-free Graduate Help Line. A Graduate Counselor will be happy to work with you, reviewing the Career Starter kit procedures, your marketing materials and interviewing techniques DVD. We want you to be successful and will motivate and encourage you in your job search! AHP cannot respond to the comment about 44 pages of companies without a source.
