As I look back on my journey with Optimum TransSchool, I am filled with
gratitude. Their flexible online courses and self-paced learning model
was an absolute game-changer for me. The support and guidance provided by
the instructors were outstanding. Even though I learned at my own pace,
I never felt isolated or disconnected. The instructors were always available
to answer any question I had and offered valuable feedback on my progress.
It felt like having a dedicated mentor by my side throughout the journey.
A big thanks to my instructors for the patience and understanding throughout
the training. I am glad that I was able to find OTSI. I enjoyed every bit of
my training and I am proud to be part of this amazing family. They eventually
hired me.

I was a government nurse repeatedly exposed to COVID-19 patients. I resigned,
worried about my family's welfare and safety. I looked for a remote job, and
I came across OTSI on Facebook. I promptly enrolled and I have been very
thankful that the instructors were patient and thorough in making sure that
we learned as much as we could. OTSI has been a great blessing not only for
me but for my family. I have no regrets training with them. Not only did
they help me be a trained MT but they also kept in touch and eventually hired me.
Thank you OTSI! God bless and may you always be a blessing to everyone.

I am glad to have pursued a Medical Transcription course at OTSI. Through
their online program, OTSI provided me that wonderful opportunity to learn
from the comforts of my own home and to work without sacrificing health
and time for family. Though far removed from the ideal classroom setup and
interaction, the mentors at OTSI go out of their way to make their students
feel connected and at ease. My mentors not only instructed and equipped me
with the knowledge and skills I needed for this career, they have also lent
their ears and have given unwavering understanding. OTSI surely will mold
you to be your best. I feel truly blessed and thankful for my OTSI experience.

I enrolled at OTSI at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hearing their
stories about how they shifted from holding face-to-face to online classes,
my instructors did an amazing job, not to mention that they would adjust
to their students’ availability without compromising quality of the curriculum.
I appreciate that they still keep in touch with their students even after
graduation to provide really helpful tips and advices on where to look for
employers and how to land a job. Thank you and may you continue to inspire
MT aspirants!

"We were truly blessed to have been part of Batch 37.
Together with my mother, we underwent rigorous individualized English
classes and transcription training. They did not give up on us until
we were confident enough and fully-equipped in our new endeavor. Moreover,
we also witnessed the transformation of our classmates, and we were
gratified to know that the lessons we all learned from OTSI will serve
us well, as we embrace the challenges that lie ahead. One unique advantage
of OTSI are their customized modules, based on one's skill level. They truly
reinforced the value of excellence, efficiency and quality in their basic
training and OJT program. It is never too late to learn and hone one's skills,
especially if you have OTSI as your support system. Thank you OTSI!"

"Through a family member, I eyed medical transcription as it
potentially gave me the best of both worlds; having a job
related to my nursing background, which I could do from home.
OTSI was one of the top searches. They were quick to respond
to my queries and were very accommodating. They gave the impression
of their genuine interest to make things as simple as possible
for their potential students. That made me decide to pick them.
I am so glad that my whole experience at OTSI proved my decision
right in so many ways — the fees are reasonable; the instructors
were effective, kind-hearted and dedicated to their craft; the
training program was very student-centered.
Students get to go at their own pace, depending on their knowledge
and pre-training skills and availability. This individualized method
proved invaluable especially to me. I was set to complete my MT
training the soonest time possible and they helped me achieve that
goal without compromising the quality of training I received. In fact,
our mentor stated that it wasn't just about getting good scores and
finishing the modules; it was about equipping the students with what
it takes to succeed as a medical transcriptionist in the real world.
Aside from the memories of having a family while being away from home,
OTSI also gave me invaluable life lessons that I took home. With
confidence gained from my training, I am excited to jump-start my career
as a medical transcriptionist. Thanks OTSI! God bless us all."

"My learning experience with OTSI was wonderful! They opened my
eyes to a lot of new opportunities, broadened my perspective and
boosted my self-esteem. The modules were very relevant and
well-organized. The flexibility to take the course at my own pace
proved invaluable. The instructors were phenomenal, encouraging
and extremely supportive. I am happy to have found OTSI. Thank
you for helping me to achieve my goals. Cheers!"

"Finding a new career after many years of being a homemaker
made me decide to take up medical trancription. Being a registered
nurse made learning easier and with OTSI guiding me every step of
the way in my two-month training, I am fairly confident that I
will soon land a job and be off to start a career that will not
only utilize what I have learned in nursing school but will pave
the way for me to start a new life as a working mom. Hats off to
OTSI for making sure that I have new wings to fly!"
~ Liza, RN, 2014
"Days quickly came and went and we finally received our
certificates! Our respected instructors gave so much of their time
and effort to teach us. We truly learned a lot! We thank the Lord,
our family and friends, our classmates, and the OTSI staff. We were
so blessed to have spent time with you all!"

"My friend Denisse and I are BS Biology graduates. I wasn't able
to go to medical school due to financial reasons. Denisse on the
other hand, was partially blind. We couldn't find work related to
our field, which made us more frustrated. When Denisse found OTSI
on the net, we didn't hesitate to enroll. That was the best thing
we ever did next to going to medical school. OTSI opened a lot of
doors for us. I'm proud to be a graduate of OTSI, and among the
pioneers of the health care documentation industry here in the
Phillipines. With OTSI'S credible team of trainers and good
facilities, we're fully prepared and ready to take on the
challenges that may come our way."
~ Pam and Denisse, BS Biology graduates, 2013
"Yearning to make a career change and veer off from the usual
corporate drivel, I enrolled at OTSI to become a medical transcriptionist.
OTSI helped me complete the transition and equipped me with all the
skills needed to become a successful MT, even though I didn't have any
medical background. The classes are very informative yet fun, providing
both theoretical and practical lessons to fully prepare students
for employment. After four short months, I was hired. Fifteen months
later, I progressed from transcription to editing. Thanks to OTSI!
I highly recommended them!"
~ Ciella, Batch 23, 2012
"I enrolled at OTSI with the idea of ending my monotonous 11-year
housewife life. After just 4 months of training plus a month of
OJT, I was immediately hired by them no less! OTSI changed my life
by giving me back the self-esteem and self-confidence that I'd lost
through the years. OTSI may seem like a small school but to most of
us graduates, it is the institution with a "big heart" to empower
people from all walks of life. Keep it up OTSI!"
~ Kris Cortez, Batch 16, 2010
"...OTSI's English and Medical booklets were written and compiled
by a credible team of teachers and physicians who also served as
our effective lecturers. The best part about OTSI's curriculum is
the OJT which exposed me to a number of dictation files that
developed my motivation, patience, alertness, resourcefulness and
sense of accuracy. I am proud to be a graduate of OTSI. Now that I
have been employed by an MT firm within two weeks after I have
completed the course, I came to realize that training at OTSI
really made a big difference."
~ Jaylan Reyes, Batch 13, 2009
"Nearing 40 years old and unemployed, I wasn't sure what sort of
work I could possibly find that didn't have strict age
requirements. Somebody suggested medical transcription. I looked
for a school and found OTSI by chance. It was probably one of the
best decisions I've ever made. I initially had my apprehensions
about the course, having had virtually no medical background, and
very dated computer skills. My worries vanished as soon as I
started. OTSI has given me all the necessary skills and knowledge
one would need to become a competent MT. Barely weeks after
finishing the course, I found employment as an MT! Age is never a
barrier. One of my classmates was a 72-year-old lady. I even
finished top of my class! I had a problem and the solution was the
OTSI education: guaranteed quality training, not to mention an
instant family by my side! Thank you!"
~ Gladys Sia, Batch 9, 2009
"Their curriculum is one of the best in the country, providing me
with all the tools that I needed in order for me to compete in the
Medical Transcription industry. Management support has been
incredible. They have been supportive and continue to do so long
after I have graduated. OTSI has equipped me with the necessary
skills that landed me my first job in MediCall, one of the most
prestigious medical transcriptionist firms in the country. OTSI has
paved the way for my Medical Transcriptionist career. I highly
recommend OTSI! If you want to fast track your career enroll in
OTSI. Be a medical transcriptionist the OTSI way!"
