Mediterm Training offers a variety of courses in Medical Terminology to suit all individual requirements, ranging from a one day (6 hours) Level 1 Introduction Course to the Level 3 Certificate in Medical Terminology. All courses, with the exception of Level 1 lead to the opportunity to sit the relevant *City and Guilds / AMSPAR examination.
*City and Guilds / AMSPAR (Association of Medical Secretaries, Practice Managers, Administrators and Receptionists) is a professional body for non-clinicians working in a healthcare environment. Achievement of the relevant certificate represents real ability in the knowledge and understanding of medical terminology.

Please phone Mediterm Training should you wish to discuss which level would be most appropriate to your needs and we would be happy to advise.
