BeST Scoping Techniques® is a self-paced, user-friendly professional scopist training program presented by Cathy Knox and Judy Rakocinski, each with decades of experience as full-time scopists and instructors.
Providing comprehensive education and practical experience, BeST Scoping Techniques prepares you for a rewarding career in the scoping field. Our instructors will guide you through fun and interactive online scoping classes designed to help you effectively develop the necessary skills to edit transcripts for court reporters.
BeST is the only scoping training program that offers training in both CaseCATalyst and Eclipse. The instructors are full-time scopists who use those systems extensively. They have created step-by-step training videos, "Up-to-Speed" manuals, and offer practice files to help you get up and running quickly on whichever of these two software packages you select.

Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters is included with the program. BeST is the only scoping school that does not require you to spend additional funds to purchase a grammar/punctuation book on your own.
If a payment plan is requested, the course may be broken down into two equal installments. Unlike other programs, we do not charge you an additional fee to take advantage
of this plan. The course path will be altered slightly to accomodate the split payment tuition.
The Frequently Asked Questions (below) about scoping in general and about our scopist training program in particular should help

Honestly...
As you're searching for information about BeST®, don't be fooled by other internet scoping schools who sprinkle our course
name around their own website in an attempt to lure you in.
As you're preparing to begin your scoping training, don't be deceived by "cheap" programs with misleading claims.
Do your homework before you are swayed by another training program. Don't be afraid to ask for references from current students and/or graduates of the program.
