I will be a first time court reporting student in less than one month. I will need a machine prior to the start of the second quarter which begins October 8th. I want to buy the Stentura Protege for students from Stenograph. I am just wondering if it is difficult to qualify for their lease-purchase program.
Adrienne,
Congrats on wanting to start up court reporting. It's a lot of hard work but really worth it. I enjoy it immensly (I'm a student looking into CART). I am currently leasing-to-own a Mira A3 machine. They take a look at your credit so the better your credit is the better chance you'll have of being able to lease. If you're not sure, have a co-signer or two in mind just in case it comes to that. Good luck!
Thanks so much for responding. That's exactly what I need to know. I am looking into CART as well. It is just something about the court room that doesn't appeal to me. I do want the experience though. Good luck on your court reporting journey.
