The initial test is fairly simple and didn't take me more than an hour to complete. Now, I believe TranscribeMe has a training test that all candidates have to complete before the get work. I began working on assignments moments after completing the test which was really great! It is also really easy to get work on more assignments through other exams for foreign languages, accents, or medical transcription. Now, the process to becoming a QA has become available to anyone who is already working with the company; all that is required is a passing grade on a QA test similar to the General Transcription training module.
