Athreon’s transcriptionists and editors must be high school graduates or GED recipients who have also completed a transcription training program. We will also consider professional on-the-job transcription training as a substitute for formalized training, provided you can substantiate a minimum of 2 years’ relevant transcription or editing work experience. If you’re currently enrolled in a training program, please wait until you graduate before applying. 

It depends on the client’s requirements. Our job postings will indicate if we are accepting domestic or international applicants.
