TRANSFER CREDIT

Academics from court reporting online programs will no longer be accepted. Academics from resident court reporting schools will be accepted.  Students who have attended an online court reporting program will be required to take a theory test and speed test prior to enrolling. 

Court Reporting is a very challenging course, which requires focus and at least 14 hours weekly as a minimum of practice outside of class to reach the speeds in the time allotted. Academics are college level and require study.

Court reporting programs are not for students who do not want or have the time to work hard outside of class to achieve the goal of becoming a court reporter. 

There is a reason why many court reporters make a six-figure income.  School is challenging and requires the same or more effort as any college program would require.

If you are up to the challenge and are ready to commit to this program, come to class daily and practice a minimum of 14 hours a week, then contact the Director at your earliest convenience.
