What College of Court Reporting Inc does

College of Court Reporting Inc (CCR) is a privately held, family-operated online postsecondary institution founded in 1984 by Kay Moody and incorporated in Indiana in 1985. Headquartered in Valparaiso, Indiana, CCR delivers fully accredited online court reporting education via a custom Moodle-based learning management system integrated with its proprietary EV360 Ultimate Suite (seven modules covering speedbuilding, realtime accuracy, evaluation, and testing) and EV360 Realtime Theory (an internally developed steno theory). It enrolls more than 300 active students in the United States and internationally across an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Court Reporting (85 credit hours), a Certificate in Court Reporting - steno method (55 credit hours), and a Certificate in Voice Writing (37 credit hours), serving aspiring freelancers, official reporters, broadcast captioners, CART providers, and legislative reporters.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-credit-hour tuition (currently $395, scheduled to rise to $435 effective July 2026) plus a per-semester technology fee ($300 currently, rising to $500 in 2026) and a one-time $50 application fee; programs run 5-7 semesters and revenue is recognized over the multi-semester attendance window. The institution is DEAC-accredited (eligible for federal Pell Grants and student loans), NCRA-approved since November 1, 1987 (first NCRA-certified online program in spring 2006), licensed by the Indiana Board for Proprietary Education, ACICS-accredited since 2001, NVRA-affiliated, SARA-participating, and registered with the California BPPE. Distribution is entirely self-serve/online: prospective students apply through the Populiweb portal, attend live classes on Blackboard Collaborate, complete coursework in Moodle, and consume skill-development content in EV360 - with payment plans offered free of service charge.

Operating economics are bounded by a small staff footprint (over 30 degreed faculty and administrators, including three NCRA Outstanding Educator of the Year honorees) and a long-tenured regulator-recognized education brand. Voice-writing students are required to source hardware/software through Martel Electronics (Lenovo laptops with 32GB RAM and Dragon Nuance Professional 16) and steno students purchase CaseCATalyst via Stenograph, creating a tied-software ecosystem. CCR cites internal improvements associated with EV360 - including a 51.6% pass rate on 1-5 minute evaluations (vs. 22.5% pre-EV360), 91% accuracy on over 65% of 5-minute evaluations, and students entering speedbuilding 20-40 words per minute faster than under the prior Phoenix theory - though these are proprietary, not externally benchmarked.

Direct peers

• Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC): Maryland community college with a long-standing NCRA-approved court reporting program. Competes for the same online/statewide students under SARA, but its program is campus-grounded rather than built on a proprietary adaptive LMS like EV360.
• Dallas College — El Centro Campus: Texas community college running a large NCRA-approved court reporting program. Competes with CCR for online Texas-resident students under SARA using a similar credit-hour tuition structure.
• Gateway Community College (Maricopa County Community College District): Arizona community college offering an NCRA-recognized court reporting program. Comparable institutional peer in the Western US for stenography and voice-writing students.
• Anoka Technical College: Public Minnesota technical college offering an NCRA-approved court reporting program on campus. Direct competitor for the same pool of aspiring court reporters, though it lacks CCR's fully online delivery model and adaptive EV360 platform.
• Santa Ana College School of Continuing Education: California community college with an NCRA-recognized court reporting program serving local students and feeding into the SoCal deposition market. Direct peer for both stenographic and voice-writing students preparing for NCRA/NVRA certification.
• Lamar State College Orange: Texas state college with an established court reporting program. Competes with CCR for Texas-resident students under SARA using a tuition-per-credit-hour model similar to CCR's.
• College of DuPage: Illinois community college that hosts an NCRA-approved court reporting associate degree program. Competes head-to-head with CCR for Illinois and Midwest students under SARA reciprocity.
• Plaza College: Private New York career college that operates an NCRA-approved court reporting program. Closest peer to CCR in terms of being a private, proprietary, accredited institution targeting the same online-friendly student demographic.

Broad incumbents

• Strategic Education Inc. Parent of Strayer University and Capella University, both online-focused. Provides a relevant publicly traded comparison for the unit economics, accreditation maintenance, and federal-aid dynamics that drive CCR's private-school model.
• Adtalem Global Education: Large publicly traded for-profit education company (Ross University, Chamberlain, Walden). Not a court reporting specialist, but a benchmark incumbent for how a scaled proprietary-education platform operates, including accreditation management and online program delivery.
