What an amazing experience! I found BlueLedge and my second career purely by accident. The legal transcription curriculum is exceptional and challenging. The instructors are OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend BlueLedge and the Legal Transcription course to anyone considering a new or second career. Give BlueLedge a try. You’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic Course! I have been a digital court reporter for years and wanted to get AAERT certified. This course reinforced much that I already knew as a court reporter and taught me new information as well. I highly recommend the Digital Reporting Course for anyone just starting digital reporting or who has been a seasoned court reporter who wants some additional knowledge. Thank you to my instructor for your help. Looking forward to diving into the Legal Transcription course now.

Julie Taradash, Reporter

I have always wanted to work in a court setting. I heard about digital court reporting and legal transcription, but I wasn’t sure where to start. After learning about BlueLedge, I figured out my next steps. I completed the digital court reporting course and passed the AAERT CER exam. I now work in a courthouse and absolutely love my job. I am happy I took the legal transcription course because it gave me a lot of necessary tools that I will be using daily. I had a wonderful teacher, Natalie, who was very helpful. I appreciate everything she has taught me.

V. Blair, CER

The Covering Court and Large Proceedings course was well done! It was easily understood and progressed systematically through the material in digestible chunks of information. The follow-up questions were well thought-out and on par with the material from which they were pulled. The interspersing of graphics, live video, and links to YouTube keeps the user engaged and the material interesting and relevant.

Michelle Baden, Sr. Region Manager, U.S. Legal Support

I kick-started my digital reporting career by taking BlueLedge’s Introduction to Digital Reporting course. It was a terrific entry point into the field. I was curious about switching careers from a background in writing and editing to the legal services field. Enrolling in the course proved to be a wise decision because I’m now working fully as a digital court reporter. The coursework was vital in helping me understand the important roles a digital reporter plays in a deposition setting, a courtroom setting, and elsewhere. I also believe that it was a great first step in preparing me to become certified as a CDR with AAERT by emphasizing important terminology, recording techniques, and other vital knowledge-based tools one has to have in their arsenal for the job. I also plan to utilize BlueLedge courses in the future to help with my continuing education requirements as a CDR, as well as attend their webinars, which feature experienced guest speakers who work as reporters, transcribers, entrepreneurs, and much more. This will undoubtedly help expand my horizons as to what the future can become for a digital reporter.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this journey into transcription. The format of the course has proven to be thoughtful and concise, helping me to reach a much firmer understanding of transcription. I have successfully taken and passed the knowledge portion of the CET exam and I have this BlueLedge course to thank for that. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.

I would encourage anyone who wanted to prepare for the CET exam to take this course. A worthy investment indeed.

Ariel Dallas

This is an excellent course. The staff is dedicated to helping students succeed in the course, as well as in the field.

Reuben George

BlueLedge provided a comprehensive and well-structured program that thoroughly prepared me for the CET exam. The instructors were supportive, encouraging, and consistently helpful throughout the course. I feel confident beginning my new career as a CET, and I highly recommend BlueLedge to anyone seeking certification. I am deeply grateful for their guidance.

Stephanie Terrin, CET

I’ve taken several BlueLedge courses to help me in my career, and each one has been a great experience. In particular, the course CET Study Essentials greatly assisted my study process for the AAERT CET exam. I was able to email the BlueLedge team with questions about federal formatting, and they were a huge help to me in understanding everything I needed to feel confident for the test. I don’t know how I could’ve done it without their help. Thank you, BlueLedge team!

Emmett Kasper

I came into the course knowing nothing. This course was one of the best courses I have taken in my career. It clearly laid out everything you needed to know, using great examples and videos that were not painful to watch. I highly recommend this course.

Amanda Ridenour

The BlueLedge course is very organized and easy to follow. My instructor, Sharon, was incredibly detailed and helpful with her feedback and advice. The resources she provided will be a great help throughout my transcription career. I really couldn’t have done it without her! I would highly recommend BlueLedge to anyone considering a career in transcription!

Jennifer K.

I took the BlueLedge AAERT certification course and I would recommend it to anyone interested in legal solutions. Whether you’re in your twenties or sixties, like myself, it’s as informative as you’ll get in an online course. My instructors did not delay in answering questions or concerns and this prepared me for my certification. A bonus was that I was able to go at my own pace. Very excited to be a working digital reporter. Kudos to the BlueLedge staff.

Rita DeBlasio

After working in the legal field for a couple of years, I set a goal for myself to get my AAERT certification. I searched for a class to prepare me for the tests better. Once I found BlueLedge, I signed up for the Legal Transcription course. The courses were easy to follow. My instructor provided great feedback on the transcription assignments to learn from the mistakes I was making. I know, without a doubt, that the knowledge I gained from BlueLedge helped me pass my AAERT exams on the first try for both the knowledge and practical exams.

J. M.

I really enjoy BlueLedge courses for continuing education credits. They are informative, well-prepared, user-friendly courses that keep you engaged and hold your interest! Definitely recommend!

L. Lewis

The BlueLedge course is very well done. If one takes the necessary time to follow the instructions properly, they really are set up to be successful. I was especially pleased with the unexpected help I received when I was feeling pressure to have the course completed. The staff is really dedicated to helping those who are serious about becoming skilled in this field.

R. George

I wanted to give a massive thank you to my instructor, Natalie. She is a great instructor. She has a passion for her work and it is really refreshing to see.

Tisha Laurencin

Working with my instructor, Natalie, was a pleasure. I feel as though I was able to reach out regarding my concerns and receive a response in a timely manner. She was very good at explaining why things were incorrect and helped to keep me on track to improve.

BlueLedge Student

I was a bit nervous to take a course online as this was a new career change. However, the guidance and direction I received from my instructor, Kristin, made the experience much more manageable than I had expected. I feel I’m prepared to start working.

Melissa Mandato

I purchased the Intro to Legal Transcription bundle and got much more out of it than I realized I would. My instructor, Sharon, gave incredibly detailed and helpful feedback/corrections for each instructor-graded assignment. I did not know how far my grammar and punctuation skills had slipped since college, but I’m getting back on track. Thank you, BlueLedge.

Elizabeth W.

As a newly certified CER and previously a self-taught transcriptionist who wasn’t ever certified, this was my very first webinar. I thought I was taking it just for the CEUs, but I was impressed by all the information I gained. I not only learned a lot, but the panel fired me up, and I’m so eager to get more certifications, learn more, and go higher. As one panelist said, I want to “catch them all.” I love it! I will certainly be doing more soon. Thank you for the fantastic information!

Tina Mc

I want to thank my BlueLedge instructors, Natalie and Kristin! I am just wrapping up the Digital Court Reporting and Legal Transcription combo program. My instructors have been so helpful when I have questions and provided detailed feedback on all assignments. Their attention and assistance exceeded my expectations, especially for an online course. Although this class took far longer than I planned and was far more work than I expected, I learned a TON and I feel confident that I am ready to take my certification exams. I definitely could not have done this without my instructors! 

Tara M.

My BlueLedge instructor was a constant source of help, insight, constructive feedback, and encouragement. I learned so much from her, and I SO appreciate her sharing her extensive knowledge. It was fun chatting with her too. 

Tere’ B.

I am extremely thankful that I chose BlueLedge for my career change from medical to legal transcription. It has been an amazing, smooth, and enjoyable journey taking this online course. I appreciate my instructor for all the timely responses to my questions and her expertise, which has prepared me for success. Thanks!

Leslie

I have a bit of a long and winding story about how I became a BlueLedge student. The details don’t matter, but the fact that this wasn’t in my initial plan does! I became a transcriptionist a few months ago at the age of 51 to supplement my retirement. I had no intention of specializing in legal or medical transcription, but my circumstances funneled me into legal as the best option to begin work. A potential employer offered me the opportunity to train with BlueLedge, so I nervously jumped in. No nerves were needed! The course was very user-friendly, the content was presented in a non-intimidating way, and the support offered when questions arose was STELLAR. I’m so grateful my path unfolded in this way, and that BlueLedge was there to elevate my skills and confidence! HIGHLY recommended!

Toube B.

It was such a great course. I am impressed with all its features. Also, my instructor was a huge help. Thank you, Kristin!

Hannah W.

I benefit greatly from BlueLedge webinars. They are educational, inspirational, and keep me grounded in my new second career as a legal transcriber. I am an AAERT Certified Electronic Transcriber (CET), and I consider BlueLedge as an integral part of my legal transcription and court reporting education.

Sandra T.

I was pleasantly surprised with the feedback I received throughout the Transcription Basics course. My instructor, Sharon, thoroughly reviewed each of my transcription assignment submissions and provided detailed feedback on how I could improve. Throughout numerous CEU courses across several certifications, I’ve never received such consistent and helpful feedback!

Andrew W.

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to all the BlueLedge instructors for their assistance throughout this process. They were always patient and willing to break things down for me. They all went the extra mile to explain all my questions in a very detailed manner. I will take the information I learned in the course with me as I continue to grow in this field!

C. Colins, CER

I completed the BlueLedge Deposition Fundamentals and the ASR Mastery Scoping course and would recommend them to anyone interested in a career in legal transcription. I enjoyed the freedom of working through the course remotely and at my own pace. The lessons were presented in a clear and concise manner, and the interactive exercises were engaging. I received helpful feedback throughout the course from my instructor. The self-graded transcription and ASR scoping assignments were also beneficial for mastering the material. By correcting my mistakes, I was able to learn from them and perform well on the instructor-graded final assignment.

BlueLedge Student 

Anytime I reached out to my BlueLedge instructors, they were amazing and quick to respond. If they didn’t have the answer right away, they would find it and reach back out to me as soon as possible. I never once felt like I couldn’t talk with them, and they always treated me with kindness!

A. Larington

My experience with BlueLedge has been absolutely fantastic. All the needed info is laid out well, so it’s easy to understand and navigate. I was nervous about taking my class but they made the process seamless. And a special thank you to my instructor, Kristin, who always went above and beyond to help me grow and succeed. Thank you so much for such a great experience!

Jessica Junkin

As a hairdresser/salon owner for 21 years, I must be crazy going to school for digital reporting, right? I’m loving it! The support from Kristin Dwyer, my instructor, is fabulous. This program is built for success. Excited to see what’s in store for my second career.

Jessica Skeens

As an employer, we have had great feedback from our employees who have taken your course! One employee who took the AAERT exam passed with an almost perfect score. Our first employee who took your course was also one of our only employees who was able to pass the exam on their first try!

CourtScribes, Inc.

I would like to thank BlueLedge for allowing me to be a part of their team. From my own court case to fighting to overcome COVID, BlueLedge was there with me through it all. And a special thanks to one of my instructors, Kristin Dwyer, RPR. She was the shining light in my darkness. I am so grateful to have you on my team. Thanks, BlueLedge.

Leola Thompson

My experience with the entire BlueLedge process was incredibly smooth, and I definitely recommend it.

A. East

Sharon, my instructor, was very helpful and kind. She genuinely helped me learn. I feel much more confident in my transcription skills after working with her and after completing this course.
