Comprehensive Court Reporting Training Program, Including all Academics, Speed Building Materials, CAT Software, Externship and Job Placement.
You do not have to attend a traditional court reporting school to become certified to work as a court reporter in California. The requirement in California is: If you do not train through a traditional court reporting school in California, you must first pass the National Court Reporters Association's RPR examination, for court reporting certification, to illustrate to the California Court Reporting Board that you have achieved a similar level of training as though you had graduated from a court reporting school in California. Passing the RPR will qualify you to take the California CSR exam which is a requirement for all court reporting students regardless of where they trained. Below is the California Court Reporters Board's website, so you may visit that website and learn about the legal requirements for court reporting in California, and how the court reporting exam is administered. You will notice on the California Court Reporting Schools website, under 1(c) that the RPR Certificate is acceptable for eligibility to take the California court reporting exam.
