Kussad Institute of Court Reporting

We have been training future court reporters for over 15 years in a small classroom setting at this location. The school occupies 2,500 square feet in a professional office building, which includes 6 classrooms, a breakroom, a foyer, and two administrative offices.

The Director has been training court reporters for over 25 years in the Central Texas area.  This school enjoys an excellent reputation and one of our recent transfer students called this school, "The Harvard of Court Reporting Schools!" 

In 2010, we had four graduates and all quickly took their first job as Court Reporters in the Austin area!

Our maximum overall enrollment accepted is 40 students and most years, we average three to five graduates a year!
