Hello everyone!

I'm so glad to have found this site!

I am very interested in going to school for court reporting. Can anyone give me some insight into the online programs out there? It's all a bit overwhelming to sort through, so I'd really appreciate some first hand accounts!

Thanks!

~Victoria

Victoria,

I would love to connect you with some of our ONLINE graduates and students.  Call me 866-294-3974 or email me nicky.rodriquez@ccr.edu.

I look forward to speaking with you,

Nicky

I would be interested in this issue as well. Although I am obligated to finish the next two quarters at the current online school I am at, I need to check out other online schools thereafter.    -    wkr1029 8/6/2010 12:40:49 PM | Flag

Thanks for your replys!Is CCR an online school and do you have the url address? Also, what does CCR stand for?    -    wkr1029 8/8/2010 1:27:55 AM | Flag
Here is their address....ccr.edu CCR = College of Court Reporting. They are in Hobart, Indiana.When I was trying to decide whether or not to apply there, I got a guest pass and was able to go and listen to any class I wanted. They record all of their classes so you can go live or you can do the recored classes, or both! Such flexibility. All of the instructors are just fantastic.    -    asyesew 8/8/2010 7:57:39 AM | Flag

Bryan College in LA is terrible. I transferred this quarter to Huntington Junior College's online program and am so glad I did. Bryan College constantly changes their curriculum and requirements, you must take night academics (even if you are a day student)to qualify for full time status and thus your financial aid, grading of tests took up to 3 weeks and their practice materials thru RTC are insufficient, yet you are required to log a certain number of hours weekly doing the same drills, over and over and over. They neglect to tell students their online program is NOT NCRA certified (although on-campus is) and as other people have mentioned, never tell prospective students not within driving range of the campus that you MUST attend in person to sit for the qualifier.  They actually accept out-of-state students without explaining this detail. They are also the most expensive program out there. Buyer beware!

I can't believe some people said Bryan College of LA. Seriously?? You guys must have really low standards then because Bryan College has major administrative flaws. They have way more students than they can handle. They don't have enough staff to grade tests (even though we pay them almost a thousand dollars per month) so feedback on tests is pretty bad, and you're lucky if you get an e-mail reply to your concerns. They definitely don't give us the treatment that a paying customer deserves, because ultimately that's what we are to them. All they care about is profit profit profit and giving the bare minimum for it. I could go on with a list of complaints. Bottom line is, when you pay as much money as we're required to pay to BC you have certain expectations, and they really couldn't care less to meet them.

 

Sorry for the rant people. Sometimes you just can't hold it in.

Are you considering realtime voice writing?  If so, Arkansas School of Court Reporting has a completely online comprehensive training course.  Visit www.arscr.com and look at our testimonials!  If I can be of help in any way with your training, please let me know.

Hi Victoria,

I would also like to introduce you to The School of Court Reporting in Marlton, New Jersey. We have an online and onsite program that I would be more than happy to discuss with you. All of our instructors are Certified Court Reporters or have been in the past, and offer a great education as well as continued support. Feel free to contact me toll free at 1-866-753-3664 and visit our website for more information at www.theschoolofcourtreporting.com.

I am also aware of CCR and they offer a wonderful educational program. Congratulations on a great career choice.

College of Court Reporting (CCR) in Hobart In. definately is the best choice I could have made! Teachers are great and like Laura I am in the first semester as well and they definately are already challenging us with speed building. Not only is the staff great but I have gotten to know the girls in my class and are friends through facebook to support eachother whenever we need it! The online classes are just as great as being in the class room. We get to talk to one another and participate ju

Well - I would say first, where are you? If you`re in a state that has a state exam where you`d need to pass a qualifier, you should check that first. Bryan College (where I currently attend the day program) will NOT administer a Q exam online, so even the online students have to find a way to make it in for the exams. I don`t know much more about it since I`m not online, but if there are tests you`ll need to take at a facility, that would be my first priority to find out.

College of Court Reporting (CCR) is the best!! And, Elora, CCR does administer online tests and they do have ways of keeping us honest -- we cannot move into a new speed level until taking mentored tests proctored by an established court reporter or by taking the tests at the school. This method also hooks us up with a local court reporter who can help coach us through the whole process. I`ve got two more 225QAs yet to pass at the school, and I`ve already passed one of the three legs to the s

It`s not just Bryan that doesn`t do online qualifiers... i think there is currently some sort of restriction against it. Last I heard, they have been trying to get something passed to amend the restriction. Would be nice to do the Qs online!

Sage College, located in California, has two campuses for ground school, but more importantly, also has a wonderful online program. I`ve been an online student for 1 1/2 years now (which includes 2 semesters of Theory), and I`m in the 120 speeds. The Realtime practice they have is awesome! The online library contains an enormous amount of practice material for each speed level. When writing a Q&A, they use a lightboard so the student knows which speaker is talking.

Brown College of Court Reporting and Medical Transcription is another excellent online progam. They`re out of Atlanta, GA, and the instructors are all reporters and well seasoned and bring a lot to the table.
