Focused on Your Future.
The National Academy of Court Reporting was created to prepare students for professional careers through structured education, practical skill development, technology training, and personal support.
Preparing the Next Generation of Court Reporters
Court reporting requires more than speed. It requires accuracy, technology skills, professional judgment, discipline, and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with preserving the official record. NACR was built to develop those skills through structured training, practical application, and experienced instruction.
