Captioning and Court Reporting is a diploma program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology that trains students to transcribe speech at 225 words per minute and higher using an electronic shorthand machine and computer technology, producing a near-simultaneous printed transcript of spoken conversation. It is the only captioning and court reporting program in Western Canada approved by the National Court Reporters Association, a 35,000-member organization based in the United States, and graduates find employment across Canada, the United States and internationally. Entry follows completion of NAIT's Court Transcription certificate and machine shorthand testing. The program's official page notes it is not currently accepting applications, so no active intake term or nominal program length is published at this time; prospective applicants are directed to contact NAIT's Student Service Centre for current status.
