“My studies at Tri-C have been very positive and memorable. I have huge respect for the entire faculty and the department. They are accessible and accommodating in sharing their vast knowledge and varied expertise and providing up-to-date real-life scenarios of the industry.

No corner of the court reporting profession is left unturned or unexplored through the programs they offer. The certificate curriculum provides a full depth of knowledge and a sense of confidence for any individual seeking to enter the workplace immediately and provides certainty for passing the AAERT certifications.

The nature of the coursework is well-paced and provided through a platform incorporating an open forum between teachers and students to share experiences and draw from experiences of each other. I genuinely believe the learning has provided me with the success and experience I now share with other professionals in the court reporting industry.”  Allison Sewell -graduate
