Legal Transcription: CET Prep + Deposition

This package is ideal for students who wish to learn legal transcription, pass the AAERT CET exam, and transcribe depositions and other non-federal proceedings. This package contains two separate courses. For more information about each course within this package, please review their course descriptions linked here. 

  1. Legal Transcription (CET Prep) - https://blueledge.com/legal-transcription-cet-prep/
  2. Deposition Transcript Fundamentals - https://blueledge.com/deposition-fundamentals/

The Legal Transcription (CET Prep) course alone does not prepare students for non-federal formatting required by many employers. 

For those preparing for the CET, the formatting taught in the Deposition Transcript Fundamentals course will not be helpful, but it will be incredibly helpful to have those skills when looking for work.
