CET Study Essentials

This is a collection of short courses for students who have been working as legal transcriptionists and already have a very good understanding of all English, grammar, and punctuation rules.

In this study package, you will learn many aspects of what is covered in the CET knowledge and practical exam. Here are the courses within this curriculum. (1) Legal System, (2) Terminology, (3) Prepare for Practical. The Prepare for Practical course includes formatting federal transcripts, instructor-graded transcription assignments, & ethics/confidentiality.
