Court Reporting Training Program a Strategic Investment

NEW YORK, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- AAVW is Manhattan's premiere voice writing school, conveniently located in the heart of lower Manhattan's financial center.  Offering Courses limited to ten students per class, AAVW's hands-on approach to training provides an active learning environment for court reporting, CART reporting serving the hearing impaired student and voice capturing.

Now more than ever, court reporters uphold the responsibility as "keepers of the record".  Using state-of-the-art technology, AAVW's training program is changing the way of court reporting, placing emphasis on voice writing over other methods. Understanding that not all court reporters work at courtroom trials, AAVW provides the individualized training and workforce internship experience necessary to meet the wide variety of available positions. This technologically-savvy and fast-tracked program places AAVW at the forefront of the industry and its graduates competitively higher than other applicants in the field.

Court reporting is the ideal career for the entrepreneurial spirit.  With a career as an independent freelance court reporter, one's job is to create a record of everything spoken at depositions, meetings and hearings.  AAVW graduates are trained in voice writing to perform their services at legal offices, corporate headquarters, stockholders' meetings, television broadcasts, and colleges and universities.

As set forth by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook 2010 - 2011, the demand for court reporters is continually growing, with employment opportunities projected to grow faster than the average of all occupations between 2008 and 2018.  This demand will be spurred by the continuing need in pre-trial depositions, live television captioning and assisting the hearing impaired at lectures and classes.

AAVW's training program is a smart investment and, in the current recession, a wise investment is in oneself.  Just as job opportunities are on the rise within the field, so too are the earnings.  Earnings vary by location, type of reporting job, experience of the reporter and workload.  New York reporters have the potential for first-year earnings to reach in excess of $55,000, with six-figure annual income projected thereafter.  A graduate from AAVW has the potential for a return on her or his investment within six months of finishing the program.

AAVW's flagship school is conveniently located in lower Manhattan's financial district.  Satellite locations will include New Jersey and Connecticut as well as expansion into the new markets of Washington, D.C. and Florida.
