From Our Graduates
“I went to Stenographic Institute in the ‘90’s taught by the amazing Godfrey, along with many other amazing professional court reporters! I loved that I was able to hold a full-time job and go to school two evenings per week. Stenographic Institute gave me the foundation I needed to succeed in a 25+ year career – no two days are ever alike!”
“Great program taught by all working and former court reporters! I graduated having confidence in myself and ready to work in the field. The teachers are all very supportive. Highly recommend!”
“Attended Stenographic Institute from 2007 to 2009. I feel so fortunate to
have been able to attend a school that was so close to home and I loved that it was only two hours two nights a week of actual instruction. The rest was just practice, practice, practice!
All working or retired reporters teaching the program and they helped find placement after I graduated!”
