  RECOMMENDATIONS:*                                                                                                   Linda, Just wanted to touch base and let you know that these scopists you are providing to reporters are FABULOUS!  They have all been very professional in their responses and have done excellent work.  Some of my fellow reporter friends are using graduates of your school and we all are having success with them.  I just want to say thank you for your help.  I am looking forward to my work life being less stressful!!!  You and your school have been a true blessing!!! Once again, THANK YOU! Audra Hi, Linda - I did some checking before I signed with ISS, and I also found ISS to be the best (way better than [those other guys].  Do you want to know one of the most compelling reasons why?  Because you responded each time so quickly and thoroughly as opposed to [those other guys].  They got back to me much later in the day or the next day, but you responded within an hour or so each time and very thoroughly.  That went a long way with me!  You are very accessible, which is so helpful when I want answers right away!  I'm sure most people feel the same way I do!  So feel free to have anyone contact me for a reference.  I will give them a glowing report about ISS!

  BUYER BEWARE!  You can’t believe everything you read on the Internet. Now and then I like to check around and see what instructors and graduates are saying about the scopist training courses.  1.  ISS is the most comprehensive online course.  We have two to three times the training material that any other course has.  Be a wise buyer and check the facts for yourself.  2.   One course requires the student to purchase and independently study Lillian’s English Guide for Court Reporters prior to registration.  I’m confused!  ISS has lessons that were personally written by me for every section we offer and we offer student support throughout the course.  If you’re going to pay for training, make sure you get it .                                                                              3.  No other course can touch the ISS placement program.  We have placed reporters with our graduates a large percentage of the time.  And we don’t charge for it; we provide this service for free as an investment in our graduates’ success.  Ask the grads listed online.  They’ll give you the straight scoop. 4.  Our graduates are busy!  One reason I know is when I need help because I’m getting overloaded, they are all too occupied with their own clients.  I like that!
