Certifications
RPR
The Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) is a nationally recognized certification program for court reporters in the United States. It is provided by the National Court Reporters Association(NCRA).
NCRA offers the title Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) to those who pass a four-part examination and participate in continuing education programs.
After completing the RPR test, reporters must maintain this certification by renewing NCRA membership and completing certain other requirements provided by the NCRA, including continuing education requirements.

There are two parts court reporters must pass in order to obtain an RMR: a written knowledge test and a speed skills test. A reporter must also already have an RPR certification.
