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 offers training on both CaseCATalyst and Eclipse software. 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.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Cathy and Judy as part of the scoping industry since the early '90s. You will not find more professionalism and dedication to the scoping field than exists in these two ladies. They operate the most comprehensive scopist training program on the market and train their students to the highest level of expertise and proficiency. I am confident that anyone who chooses their BeST Scoping Techniques training program will have all the necessary skills and lifetime support to excel in their career as a professional scopist.
Congratulations to you, Cathy and Judy, on a fantastic website and all that it offers, and thank you for letting me into your professional cyber building. I am so impressed with the depth of your course. Take a bow and take the "A+." I wish you both the very best in your work always. Fondly,

There's no arguing that the BeST is the best. Cathy and Judy are offering a course that will easily give you all you need to become a proficient and professional scopist. They will not only be your teacher and guide you, but will become a great friend and role model. When you need them, it is almost like being able to dial "O" for operator and getting help. That's sometimes how instantaneous it is.

Several years ago I took the BestScopingTechniques schooling. It has to be the best decision I ever made. I now have my own business. And BeST of all, I get to work at home. Taking this scoping schooling was wonderful. No matter when I had a question, they were always there to answer. The entire course ran very smoothly, and there were always many helpful suggestions. I'd do it over again in a minute. At the end of the course, they helped me to understand how to set up a business. Upon occasion, I still ask for help and they have never let me down.
Thank you Cathy and Judy. You're my heroes.
