To thrive in a competitive industry, you need polished skills, updates on the latest technology, and a firm understanding of what's going on in the court reporting profession.
Plus, you need a consistent system to verify the competence of court reporters around you--both for assuring the stability of the court reporting profession and to check the credentials of reporters when you need to refer a client.
NCRA's Continuing Education Program is nationally recognized and accredited by the American Council on Continuing Education and Training (ACCET). When people see an NCRA certification by your name, they know you are a professional.
Educational Opportunities for the Busiest Schedule and Tightest Budget
Maintaining your certification is easier than ever because there are more learning opportunities that qualify for continuing education credits than ever before.
