The Right Turn, Inc. offers Court Reporting training to persons who are looking to work from home as a broadcast captioner, in courtrooms as a judicial reporter, or in classrooms as a communication access realtime (CART) provider. This training is distance learning/online education.
Students who complete the court reporting training program have the potential to earn an average yearly income of over $61,800 in the field, according to the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA).
The U.S. Department of Labor projects that employment of court reporters will grow 25% by 2016, which is much faster than the average for all occupations.
Court reporters can sort and discriminate between testimony and background noise and use common sense to transmit information—as opposed to electronic recording devices which cannot.
