Court Reporting for Any Capture Method

This 18-hour course provides information every court reporter should know, no matter their capture method. The course provides students with a thorough understanding of how to cover court and non-court proceedings; the basics of the legal system; and court reporting professional, ethical, and confidentiality requirements.

Any type of court reporter can take this course, including stenographic, voice, and digital capture methods. This course DOES NOT train on software/equipment used to capture the record. This means there is no training on theory/shorthand, no training on a stenotype machine, no training on a stenomask, and no training on digital reporting equipment. Also, this is not a transcription course, but there are some transcript tips within. If interested in transcript formatting, check out our Deposition Fundamentals course. For details about this course, check out the course outline.

This course is entirely online and does not include hands-on training.
