Realtime Reporting and Captioning at Home
NCRA-approved Theory
Developed Specifically for Homestudy Students!

The two most important components in court reporting, broadcast captioning, and CART providing training in any method of training are: the theory you learn and the support you receive during your training.  Either of them can ensure your success … or your failure.

Hollie W., former Naval Spouse

I am a former Navy wife, and when I found CRAH I was getting ready to get married and move across the country and the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii. I needed a way to go to school and start a career while being able to travel with the military. CRAH was my answer and has been fabulous. I am proud to say that through the use of CRAH I passed my WKT and am preparing now for my skills test.

Many deployments and moving have gotten in my way of taking the exams earlier, but without CRAH none of this would have been possible. My CRAH program has traveled with me from Alabama, Hawaii, California, Illinois, and now Florida. It has been so nice to have a training program that can go where I go. Life as a military wife is always changing and always stressful. CRAH made going to school and starting a career a lot less stressful and so much easier. I am now working as a transcriptionist and loving every minute of it.

As for the Support Department, I do not know where to begin in singing their praises. They have been truly incredible and have supported me every step along the way. Through discouraging times, lonely times, separation, difficult times with my husband deployed, move after move, and all the happy times in between, they have been here for me with advice and encouraging words.  CRAH is helping me prepare for my RPR certification exam. This is the perfect program for all military wives or soon to be military wives. The MyCAA program was not available when I began my training. I wish it would have, because I had to pay for this program myself.  But I would gladly do it again, because CRAH has truly changed my life.

I absolutely love it!  I find your explanations of various concepts to be far superior to anything that I have heard in a classroom.  In addition, I am very pleased with the Support Department.  I had a question on Thanksgiving Day.  I was not expecting an answer, because it was a holiday, and I figured that everyone was rightfully out celebrating with family and friends.  Lo and behold, I got an answer!  That was very much appreciated!
Thank you again to both you and your staff for a superb course.

I'll take a few moments to say that I am amazed at the detail that was put into this program. I love it!  Every i has been dotted and every t crossed - Linda is amazing.  I was wary at first since I found it over the internet, but after completing all my research and speaking to Linda twice, I felt confident this was going to be a great training program; however, I did not know how great!   I attended a court reporting “college” 20 years ago - I may have been at 100 WPM - can't remember now.  Anyway, there's two things that come to mind in this early stage of my training at home: 1) The cost - it was a waste of money to sit in a classroom having someone dictate to you, and you can go at your own pace, AND you can get up at 4:00 AM if you so choose and practice; 2) By not being in a classroom, you do not have the feedback from instructors or other people to gauge your progress or bounce things off; however, Linda's program seems to have taken this into account very well. The way it is structured is excellent. You KNOW that you are taking every step in the order you should be to train from home.  You have to have that structure and reassurance in place. I think this also stands out for me, because I have the two experiences to compare.  I could go on and on about how pleased I am.  Linda's done her work, and you all are there for support.  Now the rest is up to me!

“… I really love the opportunity I have been provided by you to obtain my dream career.  My greatest fear was that not being in a classroom setting (I could not do that while working full time to feed my kids.) I would not progress and learn enough to finish.  That is so far from the truth.  Any question I have asked has been answered thoroughly and rapidly and with extra motivation to accompany it.  I never hesitate to tell anyone that CRAH is the best course.  They are NOT all the same.  And you make it not only possible, but easy, to work a 13-hour day job and not give up on my dream of working as a court reporter.”
