Susan LaPooh, CER, CDR, President AAERT
"Working with Cuyahoga Community College’s Captioning and Court Reporting Department has been a true pleasure. The faculty is collaborative, communicative, and deeply committed to both the success of their students and the needs of their industry partners.
We’ve had the opportunity to partner with the department to provide internship and shadowing opportunities, and the experience has been outstanding. Based upon our experience with reporters from Tri-C, it is clear that the digital court reporting program equipped them not only with strong technical skills, but also with a high level of professionalism.
It’s refreshing to collaborate with an institution so invested in real-world outcomes. We look forward to continuing this partnership."

"My experience with Tri-C's Captioning and Court Reporting program has been truly invaluable. The instructors were outstanding and so supportive, and the curriculum taught me everything I needed to be a court reporter. I even earned my national certification during my first year in the program! The school's internship course was a real game-changer as it connected me with a local court reporting firm that extended a job offer immediately as soon as I graduated. Tri-C's program not only provided me with an exceptional education, but they opened doors to real-world opportunities that launched my career as a court reporter. I am so glad I found the Captioning and Court Reporting program at Tri-C!"

"I spent a lot of time researching schools that offered a voice writing program. I was impressed with Tri-C’s Captioning and Court Reporting program and the many different program options provided. Not only was the program affordable, but I could tell the training would be extensive and thorough. I had not been in college for over twenty years, but I was encouraged by every professor every step of the way. Their constant faith and belief in me gave me the courage never to falter, and if I did for a moment, I was able to get up and keep going. I can’t say enough great things about this fantastic program. I am already bragging and so proud now to be a graduate of this program."

"The education I received at Tri-C unequivocally placed me where I am today, thriving in my career in the court reporting industry here in Columbus, Ohio. The educational environment of my phenomenal teachers and the academic structure at Tri-C enabled me to reach for the stars and grab them many times over!
Also, teaching court reporting after graduation has given me an extra level of professional satisfaction and success to which there are no words to describe. Giving back has been quite a treat and an unexpected bonus! Thank you, Tri-C, for the outstanding education and fantastic journey! I've never been happier."
