The College of Court Reporting...any comments or complaints?

by April Key

Oct 3, 2011

I posted a couple of weeks ago about looking into schools for court reporting.  I received a lot of really good advice, and one person, Glen Warner, suggested The College of Court Reporting.  I was just wondering if anyone else had any comments on this school?  I contacted the school to get some additional information and looked on their website, but I was just curious about talking to people that have actually gone to this school.

 

Thanks in advance.

    It's hands down the best court reporting school out there. The instructors are caring, professional and go above and beyond. As for their technology it's by far the best.

    Positive reinforcement I think, is crucial while going through school. Everyone I have been in contact there has always been very positive and extremely helpful. Don't waste your time and money anywhere else.

    I am second sem student there and Glenn was in one of my last classes. Thus far, I love my school. Glenn’s brain has a plethora of information in it., I've been reading his blog for a long time now. He really knows what he's talking about. 

     

    What ever you choose good luck!

      Goodness I'm glad I found this post! Tina I didn't know you switched schools! I have wondered about you!

      Well, I am still an online student and I just had a virtual meeting last night with a lady at CCR's admissions office. I am so scared to leave where I am for a few reasons, I would love to hear y'alls advice. I'll take all the help I can get!

      My school is on a quarter system and CCR is on semesters, so when my qtr ends Dec 15th I would have to wait until Feb before I could start at CCR. I'm not sure what this would do to my financial aid, not to mention what it would do to my progress! I'm currently at 120wpm. However, CCR sounds like they have an extremely supportive and motivating staff.....my teacher just abruptly quit during our qtr! I don't even have an instructor now!

      The thing that scares me most about transferring (other than the higher tuition), is the amount of time you're expected to be on your machine a week, they told me 18-20 hours a week...

      What do yall think?

        I'd say investigate what your state certification requirements are before committing to CCR.  There are many cheaper alternatives out there that can offer the same quality of education.  If your state requires a CSR, you would have to pay 13k a year to attend CCR just to build the speed in order to obtain your RPR before you were qualified to take the CSR.  SimplySteno is a great alternative at a fraction of the cost.
