Program Information
With machine shorthand, an office or administrative assistant is able to write shorthand much faster than pen and paper shorthand. Machine shorthand writers are called upon to perform standard office responsibilities, as well as take minutes at board meetings, sales meetings, press conferences, technical training seminars, product introductions, and other presentations.
A Certificate of Achievement in Legal Transcription Technology can be earned by students who have completed all required courses with at least a grade of "C" or "Pass".
