I have been a student at CCVS for seven months now. Deciding to take the plunge and go for it was a very difficult decision to make, but I can honestly say that I've never looked back and regretted it. Starting all over and becoming a student again is difficult, and quitting my full-time, secure, well paying job was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it's all been very exciting. It's fun to learn new things again. The work is challenging and very rewarding when you finally understand it all. All of the staff members at CCVS are very encouraging and helpful. Everyone wants you to succeed. My fellow students are all in the same boat as me and together we pass tips back and forth and encourage each other. We have regular guest speakers too, which really helps us get various perspectives on the different career paths that will be available to us when we are done.

My experience here has been a extremely rewarding so far and I'm certain it will continue to be so. I strongly advise anyone with interest to look into this school. I believe this career will open many doors and give you access to many options not available to most people. The school is definitely one of a kind!

Court reporting has been very good for me. Every day is different. The harder you work, the more you can earn. I can work really, really hard over a long period of time and then, joy, I can take a week off.

I promise you will not be bored with your work and you will never stop learning. I have met and continue to meet amazing people and some of my best friends are fellow reporters.

Court reporting is an incredibly rewarding career that I would recommend to anyone wishing to play a vital role in the justice, legislative, or hard-of-hearing communities. I have had amazing experiences and an employment history that has included working in the courts, the freelance field, broadcast captioning, Parliament, and overseas.

It is my belief that the cirricula and training facilities that will be offered at CCVS will greatly serve not only those students who will be engaged in the pursuit of this noble profession, but also reporting environments such as the Senate.
