By your own experience, who graduates the best scopists?

I would like to know which schools graduate the best scopists? I am trying to choose a school to become a scopist that not only portrays to have the best education but whom court reporters also can attest to providing the best scopists.  The costs of the schools plus the cost for the software is expensive so I want to make sure that my money will give me the best training possible. In addition, I want to do an excellent job and since I have seen so many court reporters state that many scopists they have hired may not have been that great because of their training, I want to find a way to reduce that in my career. Thanks in advance!!

I am a scopist and highly recommend Scoping Made Affordable.  SMA will provide you with all the necessary tools to become a successful scopist.

Have a great day!

Scoping Made Affordable offers an outstanding program at a very reasonable price.     I can't say enough good things about working with Devon Roberts.   She personally called me to discuss the program and always responds promptly to any emails.   Her training reinforced what I'd learned in court reporting school and taught me much more.  I'm now working just about full-time for one reporter and love it!  Thanks to Devon and the SMA program, I felt very comfortable starting out.  It was definitely the right choice for me!

I would recommend Devon Roberts and Scoping Made Affordable (SMA).

SMA offers live , interactive online classes and a very comprehensive curriculum.  Devon continues to be a resource for those who have graduated from her program.

For those who  have completed different scoping courses but still do not feel ready to work, SMA offers a Scoping Intern Program (SIP). 

SMA also has a referral program which is available to scopists who can demonstrate the required level of skill.

I was very happy to have chosen Scoping Made Affordable (SMA). Devon has always been a fantastic teacher, patient and helpful.

I unequivocally stand behind Devon Roberts, owner of Scoping Made Affordable, (SMA).  I was truly amazed at the scope (no pun intended!) of knowledge that was taught, as well her one-on-one tutelage, and I can still call on her when something stumps me. I highly recommend her for whatever training or scoping issues you might have, whether you are brand new and need to start your training or are already a scopist and need to brush up on certain skills as she has programs for all.
