How does the program work?
You start out learning our theory, which usually takes about six months. Then you progress to speed building. We teach both theory and speed building through class recordings, as well as a lot of supplemental material. We are an at-your-own-pace program, so we are great for those who can't attend at certain times or even those who can dedicate their entire day to studying! Your goal is to work your way up until you get to 225 words per minute!
Cost
Our program is $299/month. Eclipse software is $100. While you are active with us, we provide you with a digital copy of the theory book. You can sign up at any time and cancel at any time.
We do not accept any financial aid.
How long is the program?
Court reporting is like learning to play the piano. There is no set in stone time for how long it will take you to become a professional pianist. The same goes with court reporting. If you can put in at least three hours on your machine per day, five to seven days per week, you should be able to get to the graduation speed of 225 words per minute in two to three years.
Class Schedule
Theory and speed building are taught through recordings, as well as a lot of supplemental video and audio material. We are always here to help you along the way!
