I worked at the Academy of Court Reporting & Technology (Cleveland, OH) in the Admissions Department and lasted 2 weeks. The school is such a scam. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing the harm I would be doing to prospective students by setting them up for failure, massive amounts of debt and not to mention "degrees" that are not honored by employers or other schools. Individuals looking for quicker routes to a degree, do yourselves a favor and attend a community college. Your education will be better and more affordable, not to mention that if in the future you decide to further your education your credits would transfer. As a firm believer in education and an individual whose passion is to help others achieve their educational and career goals, my conscience would not have been at peace had I remained there. Those who do not want to take my word, please do me a favor and research the school. ALL of their campuses have gotten shut down except for Cleveland. Hmm I wonder why? ...read more

The Academy of Court Reporting I have accumulated over $55,000.00 worth of student loans and career training loans from the Academy of Court Reporting, and was told I would have an associate's degree when I finished. Not only was I lied to about the degree, but the quality of education was so poor, and I learned so little, that even though I graduated, I have been unable to find and keep employment in court reporting firms, due to the fact I did not receive adequate training.

They manipulated me into thinking I needed this, and then they gave little, if any, training or education on the software. The whole school is one big scam! Students sit there semester after semester without accelerating on their speed (Words Per Minute), and are told by their instruct ...read more
