TVCC Court Reporting is an online teaching program that provides students with the essential education to become a Certified Shorthand Reporter. The completion of the first year of the program provides students with a Scopist Certificate. This certificate gives students the tools needed to assist current court reporters in producing transcripts and daily copies, rough drafts for courts and depositions. The second year of the program concludes with a Court Reporting Certificate that provides the skills needed to become Certified Shorthand Reporters (CSR). The speed-building portion of the program is self-paced, varies for each student, and may continue past the six semesters. Once the exit speed requirements are met and the student becomes certified by the State, he/she will have opportunities to work as a freelance reporter, official court reporter, broadcast captioner, CART captioner for the hearing-impaired community, or to go on to become a certified realtime captioner working in the broadcasting field.
