Guidance – Court Reporting Online

Guidance - Court Reporting

Our Philosophy – Motivation, focus and drive.

It’s not enough to have teachers. You need to have teachers who are teaching

Besides supplying you with a daily, structured schedule, we will be in contact with you each week. You are not on your own in the SimplySteno program. We’re not doing our job if we’re not motivating you and giving you proper instruction and feedback. And how can we do that if we’re not in constant communication with you?

Whether it’s going over your court reporting transcripts or questions regarding punctuation – whatever the situation – we will keep you focused and on the right path!

And with our new live classes, we’ll be in contact with you more than ever.

That said, this is about you. We cannot force you to do anything you don’t want to do. So while we can motivate and guide you, you have to have the inner drive and desire to put our guidance into action.

Who will be guiding you on your steno journey? Learn more about us.

“Marc, is very approachable. It’s more than an “online program,” he is available almost all the time to answer your questions. Instant feedback is important, and his feedback on tests is the best I have ever gotten. You actually learn something, rather than just finding out if it is a pass or fail! I am happy with Simplysteno, and I don’t regret it one bit as I am currently going for my 225s!!”

Client Testimonials

I just got word today that my reinstatement application was accepted and I am going to be returning to the NY State Court System as a Senior Court Reporter. I had been an Official Court Reporter back in 1992, and was subsequently hired on as a Senior Court Reporter in 1998. I left in 2002. I want to thank you so much for the amazing program you have created. I really appreciate all of your kind words of encouragement throughout my experience in the program. There were times when I didn't think I would get back to my old speeds, never mind pass all four legs of the RPR! Thank you for all you have done to get me through the program.

Brigette Bachert, RPR

I have come a long way since I started your court reporting program last year. Marc, I want to thank you for letting me be your first court reporting student who happens to be blind. Thank you for accommodating my needs and for working with me. Thank you for believing in me and for not giving up on me. It has been a privilege to have been one of your students.

This program was EXACTLY what I needed! Being accountable to the SimplySteno program was the boost and incentive I was looking for with the ease of working with my own schedule. I really looked forward to getting practice in without having to think about finding material, etc. It’s all there and really works. I’m back in the world of court reporting again.

Lisa White, CSR

I passed my CSR exam for Texas. I just want to say to all the Simply Steno students that this program works. If you follow the method to Marc's madness, it will pay off. His program helped push me over the top. Follow his advice on your daily practice schedule!!

SimplySteno is a real step forward in speedbuilding. It is a down-to-earth approach that recognizes that court reporting students aren’t training in a vacuum. It gives plenty of support and direction for succeeding in spite of the distractions of everyday life. I started with SimplySteno at 190 words per minute. One month later, I passed my state exam. During my time with SimplySteno, Marc was quick with feedback and encouragement. He graded tests quickly. When I was getting ready to start reporting, he was standing by, quick to express his confidence in my ability. He offered help with arranging intern opportunities. The dictation material is challenging, but as Marc says, if you can write his material, you will have no trouble passing certification tests. SimplySteno is a great program. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to progress rapidly and get inspired about being a court reporter again – and not go deeply into debt in the process!

Linda Grotefendt, CCR

A little over 2 hours of my day and I feel like I learned more and got more accomplished then I ever have. Its amazing how you can go from writing 6 hours a day and be so bored, frustrated, and annoyed that you don't feel like you accomplished anything. Today I stayed hooked up for 2 hours and actually feel accomplished, satisfied, and eager to move forward. Even though the material was way more challenging, for the first time ever, I am actually looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. Yay!! I am so excited and thrilled that I trusted my gut instinct. Joining SimplySteno was the best decision I have ever made! I am so ready to climb to the top of that mountain!

Jodie Taylor, CSR

I'm very grateful too for all the help you provided while I was a SimplySteno student, It has helped me to make it into an actual courtroom at last! I'm into my second week of work as a trainee court reporter at the Royal Courts of Justice in London!

Loiuse Frith (Royal Courts of Justice)

I am a returning reporter after being out of the field for 16 years. I went to a school that had a high pass rate, and SimplySteno is run much the same way. The ample amount of dictation is dense and clear, and Marc's support is always just an email away. It's almost like having a personal trainer in that the program is geared to meet my individual needs. I didn't think I could do it on my own, but I was wrong! Thanks, Marc!

Caryn Spiezer, CSR

This is a phenomenal program and I could not have gotten to where I'm at now without you. My speed is back and it's all thanks to you!

Solomon Rodgers

I really enjoyed the flexibility this program had to offer. Being able to access my daily lessons at anytime day or night made it much easier for me to practice, based on my non-traditional schedule. Even with the program being fully remote, I still feel connected to other students in the program when we meet during zoom calls. And the price is too good to turn down.
