You’ve been out there watching, waiting and now is your time.  Once armed with the tools to write faster and cleaner, your realtime skills can shine while those unskilled will stay hiding in the shadows. Take this chance to train with the DRA RealtimeARMY. Step out to achieve the higher rank of CCRR or finally experience the special ops of streaming your transcript LIVE.
DRA believes in you.  Let’s do this.

 

TRAINING DAY ONE

Mark Kislingbury and Mock CCRR
Write Short, Write Fast, Write Clean
One of the most essential tools you’ll need to be the best writer you can be is a clean transcript. Writing short means using as many brief forms as you can learn. DRA knows that the court reporter who both writes very short AND has fast fingers will be among the best court reporters ever!

Guinness World Record holder Mark Kislingbury is committed to sharing his record-breaking methods in order to help all court reporters write shorter and faster.

Get a glimpse of a whole new world and immediately see just how much these techniques could benefit you.

Attendees of DRA’s annual convention in Monterey this past February now already know the power of the Kislingbury method, and Mark will build on his sessions in Monterey with this all-day, hands-on training.

Next up on Saturday?  Stay in your seats to try your hands at a Mock CCRR test. Here’s your chance to hear and feel what the test is like, all for one low price!
