Our Philosophy
As leaders in the field of preparing students as court reporters, stenographers, broadcast captioners, and communication access realtime translation (CART) service providers, we’ve made a substantial investment of capital and time to perfect the delivery of court reporting education.
Why CCR?
Court reporting education has transitioned beyond traditional classrooms, with the College of Court Reporting providing fully accredited online programs. DEAC accreditation ensures quality as you pursue an associate degree in court reporting remotely, offering flexibility and convenience tailored to your schedule and location.
Imagine an online learning environment and speedbuilding software program that allows aspiring court reporters access to quality dictation resources with instantaneous evaluations. Imagine a learning management system developed with students and faculty in mind; a system that delivers all the tools students need to develop their skills; a system that provides comprehensive assessment of speed and skill development while allowing faculty more interactive one-on-one time with students.
As you embark on your journey to becoming proficient court reporters, we know you will start to hear chatter about what theory to learn. While we won’t debate that one theory is better than another, we do feel it is important to have a clear understanding of the fundamental principles of machine shorthand language or steno theory. So, we would love to share our thoughts on the topic! The EV360 Realtime Theory is based on the principles developed when students could complete their court reporting education in two years or less. A steno theory’s basic principles must be logical to the learner, easy to understand, and not require massive amounts of memorization.

Online Distance Learning
It used to be that the only way to earn your degree and become a court reporter, captioner, or CART reporter was to spend hours sitting in a traditional classroom. But things have changed, and the College of Court Reporting is delivering the classroom over the Internet, directly to you, wherever and whenever you want. Whether for love of learning, career advancement, or personal satisfaction, you can earn your associate degree through CCR’s fully accredited online court reporting program. CCR is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commision (DEAC) to offer its court reporting programs through distance learning via the Internet.
