Additional training material:
We recommend that you should prepare several logs and transcripts prior to taking your exam. Be sure to review the standards set forth in Section 4 and Section 5 of the Court Reporter Manual.
If you have never typed or logged a court proceeding, we also recommend that you attend our Typing and Logging Labs. The hands on experience along with instruction from Certified Court Recorders (CERs) is extremely valuable.
