COURSES TO OFFER
When
court reporting schools revise their curriculum to incorporate text
entry as a viable option to court reporting, they are pleasantly
surprised that there aren't that many changes. Court reporting education
has always included English, vocabulary, medical, technical and
legal terminology classes.
The
technology classes now include computer literacy, word processing,
information reporting and captioning software. The schools are finding
that it is very easy for them to embrace the text entry program
and to provide their students an opportunity to "earn and learn."
