steno machine<\/a>, a notebook computer which features at least 2 serial ports, a tripod, USB cables and a carrying case to safely transport the writer and accessories.\\n\\n<\/p>\nWhat Are the Entrance Requirements?<\/h2>\n
\\n\\nAccredited court reporting programs require a high school diploma. A great proficiency in English and punctuation doesn\u2019t hurt either!\\n\\n<\/p>\n
What Will I Learn in Court Reporting School?<\/h2>\n
\\n\\nA typical court reporting student begins by studying theory for the first 6 months. Theory is the foundation of your training and teaches you how to use a steno machine in the most effective and efficient ways. After you pass your theory course, you will move onto speed-building courses, along with academic classes such as English, Vocabulary, Terminology, Transcript Preparation and Court Procedures. Finally, all good programs conclude with an internship program, providing students with practical, real-world experience.\\n\\n<\/p>\n
How Long Does it Take to Graduate?<\/h2>\n
\\n\\nThat all depends on you. After the first 6 months of theory classes, students are allowed to work towards their speed goals at their own pace. Those that practice nearly every day and attend classes typically take around 2.5 years to achieve their certificate in court reporting.\\n\\n<\/p>\n
What Are The Requirements for Graduating?<\/h2>\n
\\n\\nIn order to receive your Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) certificate from the NCRA, you must receive a score of 70 or better on the Written Knowledge Test. You will also have to prove that you can type at a speed of 225 word per minute (wpm) through a series of three skills tests. After the dictation, you will need to transcribe your notes with at least 95% accuracy.\\n\\n<\/p>\n
How Long Does It Take to Achieve 225 WPM?<\/h2>\n
\\n\\nSince courses are self-paced, it depends on the individual. Most programs recommend working towards increments of 20 wpm. Typically, students are able to write 60 to 80 wpm after the first six months, and achieve 225 wmp in around 32 months.\\n\\n<\/p>\n
