And listen to what past students have to say about Arkansas School of Court Reporting...

" I was interested in a new career that would give me many employment opportunities and would not take a long time to study. I began to research court reporting and I decided to enroll in the Arkansas School of Court Reporting. From the beginning of class, I was impressed by Sarah's enthusiasm and how quickly I built up my skills and learned to use my equipment. I was able to work full-time while taking the courses entirely online. I passed the state examination on the first try, and after attending the new reporter orientation, I feel more confident than ever about my choice to study with ARSCR, because virtually all the tips and advice I received in orientation had been given to me by Sarah weeks or months ago! More importantly, I feel like I have a wonderful mentor and cheerleader in Sarah. I know that she will be an invaluable resource as I begin my career.

"I was stuck in a dead-end job with a small child at home.  I wanted to further my career but certainly didn't have the time to go back to school full-time.  I found Arkansas School of Court Reporting online and signed up.  I took my classes online, one night a week.  Sarah is a wonderful teacher who is passionate about the field and has extensive experience.  She taught us things that you would never find in any textbook.  I was fully prepared for the certification exam and passed the first time!  Not only was I prepared for the exam, I knew what to expect out in the real world of actual reporting.

I am now working as a Certified Court Reporter for her firm.  My hours are flexible and my income is amazing!!  And Sarah is still there when I need her and the training has continued on past the course. 

For anyone interested in becoming a Certified Court Reporter, this is the course for YOU!!  Sarah makes it so easy to learn and you will love coming to class!!  I did!!"

"Last summer (2009), in an effort to improve the quality of my life by changing careers, I entered the Arkansas School of Court Reporting program.

Because I live in north central Arkansas and not in the Little Rock area, it was a huge benefit for me to be able to participate in class from the comfort of home.  The last few months of class were all on-line and were very, very well done.   I tested in April of 2010 and passed the state certification test on the first try.  The group that tested at the same time I did was made up of approximately 15 individuals.  Out of the seven passers, six of those seven attended the Arkansas School of Court Reporting with me.

These facts alone are a huge testament to the quality of teaching that is done by the school.  It not only prepares students to pass the certification test, but also addresses the real-life issues a reporter faces after certification.  I do not believe if I had attempted to become a certified court reporter on my own, or even by attending another school, I would now be ready to begin work in my new career.

Thank you Sarah Flynn, Susan Pybas and the Arkansas School of Court Reporting!"

"Becoming more and more burned out in my stalling career as a legal assistant/paralegal, I decided to look into becoming a court reporter.  I began talking to court reporters around town about their careers and learned that it was very lucrative and flexible, which was ideal for me as a single mother. 

I contacted Sarah Flynn at Arkansas School of Court Reporting.  Sarah's enthusiasm and commitment to excellence in the court reporting field really impressed me.  She answered all of my questions and gave me the confidence to move forward and enroll in the school.  Her instruction was hands on, personal, and thorough.  She gave me all the tools I needed to pass the certification exam.

Thanks to Sarah and Arkansas School of Court Reporting, I passed the certification exam on the first try and I am now a certified court reporter.  I highly recommend Arkansas School of Court Reporting to anyone interested in becoming a court reporter."

 "After working as a paralegal for over 20 years, I decided to pursue another career.  While I knew that I wanted to stay working in the legal field, I also knew that to do so would mean that I would have to further my education and/or training, and the thought of going back to school after some 20 plus years was very frightening.  But Sarah's enthusiasm, support and love for court reporting not only pours over into her teaching, but is contagious, and made class something that I looked forward to.  Now, as my mentor, she still provides that same support and enthusiasm!"

 Ramona Boyce, CCR

"I used to type for court reporters until I realized I could become a court reporter myself. I attended Sarah Flynn's court reporting school and passed the test with flying colors! They have a wonderful program with great training that I would recommend to everyone interested in becoming a court reporter."

 Jo Ellen Agar, CCR

 "I had been out of the workforce for a while, raising my children, and wanted to start a new career. I diligently attended class every week and passed the entire test my first time. After only six months of training, I am now doing deposition work with an experienced mentor to help me master my skills and learn the ropes!"

 Sherri Renaud, CCR

"I had been a stay-at-home mom for twenty years.   My kids are finally grown and I wanted to start a career.  I decided to take Sarah Flynn’s court reporting class.  I had only a high school diploma and had been out of school for so long that I was worried about spending the money on the class, not to mention I didn’t know a thing about court reporting. I am so glad that I spent the money on this class!!  Sarah made it so easy that I was able to pass the test and get certified as a court reporter.
