From CRAH Student News; 02/03/2009

Hello, my name is Jill, and I am thrilled to say I recently passed the NCRA's RPR certification examination. After being a stay-at-home mom for several years and then working part-time, I decided I wanted a "real" career again. When I ran across the Court Reporting at Home program, I knew it was perfect for me. I could work my practice into my schedule while continuing with various volunteer activities and while being there for my children after school. CRAH fit perfectly into my schedule.It took me about a year and a half to complete my training. I took and passed the NCRA's Skills Test portion of the RPR in November, 2007 and I passed the Written Knowledge Test portion that I took in January of this year. The Support Department is wonderful! They helped me during each phase of my training, and I couldn't have done it without the support I received from the CRAH Support Department. I can't recommend this program enough to those who wish to train from home.
