The third statement is correct.

Explanation: Traditionally (and historically through the AAMT/AHDI system), RMT (Registered Medical Transcriptionist) is the entry‑level/working credential showing you have the essential skills to work as a medical transcriptionist, while CMT (Certified Medical Transcriptionist) is the advanced credential indicating a higher level of expertise and experience. Note: certification names and programs have evolved over time (AHDI now uses different credential names), so check the current certifying body's website for the latest designations and requirements.
