Why Major in Court Reporting Technology
Do you think court reporting would be an exciting and rewarding career? It is! Court reporters play a vital and valued role in courtrooms, depositions and other legal proceedings. It’s an exciting, demanding and rewarding career.
The Court Reporting Technology program at Black Hawk College prepares individuals for successful careers as professional judicial reporters, broadcast captioners and computer-aided real-time transcriptionists (CART). Broadcast captioning displays the audio portion of a television program as text on the television screen, providing a critical link to news, entertainment and information for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Computer-Aided Real-time Transcription (CART) is a method to provide access to spoken communication for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have certain cognitive or learning impairments.
At the completion of the program, students are prepared to pass the Illinois Certified Shorthand Reporter (CSR) and the national Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) exams. Interested students are encouraged to contact an advisor or faculty member for more information.
