Cohort-Based Schedule for TypeWell Training

As of Spring 2025, TypeWell uses a structured schedule for our Basic Skills Course. We offer two annual training cohorts:

• Summer Cohort: Start dates available from late April through late May
• Fall Cohort: Start dates available from late August through late September

We offer flexible start dates within each cohort window to accommodate individual candidates’ schedules. Cutoff dates aim to ensure that trainees will complete the Basic Skills Course in time to begin working as real-time transcribers at the beginning of the Fall and Winter academic terms, respectively.

Within each cohort window, candidates still train independently and progress through the course on their own. This is not a group-based or interactive class; the term “cohort” is simply a way for our team to organize internal support and ensure that candidates are on track to finish before key academic start dates.

Most candidates complete the Basic Skills Course in 2–3 months. These cohort windows are designed to align with common hiring timelines so that qualified transcribers are ready to begin work at the start of the Fall and Winter academic terms.

We understand that special circumstances may arise and will do our best to accommodate individual needs. If you have questions about timing or exceptions, please reach out.
