Chris.... News on my Court Reporting Career
I'm getting married soon, and I'm excited but busy planning and paying for everything. At the same time, I am in the early stages of starting my own court reporting business. I am continuing to work for the same court reporting firm as before, but I will be operating this as a side business which I hope will become very profitable.
................................
My father, who believes very strongly in this court reporting course, purchased the Court Reporting at Home program for me my junior year of high school.

I was amazed how simplistic the lessons were and how quickly I was learning and progressing. I completed theory in roughly four months and passed the first four speed levels (60-120 wpm) in the next four months.

I passed the National Court Reporters Association's Written Knowledge Test while I was still in high school, and then I completed my 225s. At 18 years old I went from being a court reporting student to a professional court reporter. I was employed by a court reporting firm after interning with them for only two weeks.

I've even appeared on the local news on two occasions while reporting a hearing in court.

I would not have been able to get where I am today without the Court Reporting at Home program and
Support Department.
