GA Board No Longer Offers State Certification Testing
Posted From http://www.gccra.org/
Effective January 1, 2009, the Georgia Board of Court Reporting will no longer offer certification testing. Those desiring to test must take the NCRA or NVRA exam. Applicants must then apply to the Board of Court Reporting to acquire a Georgia certification. Both the NCRA and NVRA tests will be held in Georgia, but you may take the exam in any state you wish.
You may check the GCCRA calendar for testing dates in Georgia or you may visit the websites of NCRA and NVRA for testing schedules.
Eligibility for Certification
Any person who meets the following criteria is eligible for certification as a Georgia court reporter:
Certification Instructions:
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.
