Course Detail: DGCR - Digital Court Reporter
Our Digital Court Reporter course prepares you to enter the high-demand field of court reporting. As litigation continues to rise nationwide and the technology used to capture testimony evolves, there is a tremendous need for digital reporters. Also, the industry has experienced a severe shortage of court reporters, with a need for an additional 10,000 nationwide. This well-established shortage presents a substantial opportunity for those seeking a rewarding career with a secure future. Digital reporters can work in the freelance market for a court reporting agency or as full-time government employees at a courthouse.
This digital court reporter certification course thoroughly prepares you for the national certification exams offered by AAERT (American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers). Upon completion, you will be well-prepared to succeed in both the Certified Electronic Reporter (CER) and Certified Deposition Reporter (CDR) exams. The AAERT certification is the leading certification for courts and businesses throughout the United States and is required by various court systems and agencies for employment. Start your new career as a successful digital court reporter by learning all about how to cover proceedings, the hardware and software needed to perform your responsibilities, legal system fundamentals, and essential industry terminology.
Note: If you are taking our court reporter training course to prepare for the certification exam, please research the locations you are interested in working at to determine whether they use digital reporting methods and ask if they recognize AAERT certification.
