Certification Process

The certification process consists of several steps. A summary is provided below.

1. Application Submission: The first step is to submit your application from the Apply tab. You will be given an application number after the submission is complete. You can track your application using the number provided from the Apply tab.

2. Email Confirmation: To confirm your email address we will send an email to the address provided with a link. Please visit the link in your browser to complete the submission. You can request a re-send of the confirmation email or delete the application and re-apply if you made a mistake with the email address.

3. Wait List Allocation: Your application will be reviewed within 1 business day and either accepted or rejected. You will be notified of this via email. If rejected you can delete and re-apply. If accepted you will be added to the waiting list for the test. You can track your waiting list number with your application number from the Apply tab. There are 9 applicants on the waiting list currently and the estimated waiting period is 1 days.

4. Test Invitation: We will invite you to take the test when your waiting list number reaches zero. The invitation will be sent to your email address and will contain a link. Visiting the link in your browser will prompt you to create an account on Scribie.com. Creating the account requires you to choose a password, which along with your email address can subsequently be used to login to Scribie.com. Account creation is required only once and you can delete your account anytime.

5. Test File Submission: Once you login to your account, you will be presented with a list of files. You have to choose one of the files, transcribe it and submit the transcript. The submission will be first screened to check if it is adequate and it may get re-assigned to you at this stage. If re-assigned you will be notified via email. Therefore please watch out for an email regarding that after you have submitted your test file.

6. Certification: When your submission is accepted for review, a review-by date will be assigned for the file. Depending upon the results of the review you will either be certified as a transcriber (and paid for the test file) or rejected. If rejected, you may compare the differences between your submission and the reviewed file, enable re-test and submit another test file. The maximum number of attempts is 10.
