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.
Graduates of our Associate in Applied Science in Court Reporting Technology degree will be prepared to transcribe and create complete and accurate legal records while taking advantage of exciting internship opportunities.
Court reporting degree-seeking students obtain experience with real-time reporting techniques and technology during their core courses. Every court reporting degree student at Black Hawk College completes a supervised internship which provides an exciting opportunity for students to try potential career options before graduation.
