Open the original- What it measures
- A self-paced, open-enrollment certificate program for court reporting in which students learn steno theory, build speed and complete an internship. The timing is the program's own description of its students.

- One program's self-described timing, not a national statistic. It gives no completion rate, and it does not say how many students finish at all.
