Macomb County woman obtains RPR certification

Gina Wells of Chesterfield in Macomb County has earned the nationally recognized Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) certification from the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA), the country’s leading organization representing stenographic court reporters, captioners, and legal videographers.

RPR certification distinguishes stenographic court reporters as being among the top contributors to the profession in terms of reporting skills, transcript production, reporting and operating practices, and professionalism.

To be recognized as a RPR, candidates must pass a written knowledge test on industry best practices and a skills test that combines a challenging threshold of both speed and accuracy. RPR-certified court reporters are in demand among the nation’s premier law firms, courthouses, and mediators in which a reliable, accurate transcript of proceedings is required.

“Earning the RPR certification means so much to me. It is something that I’ve worked very hard for and I’m so proud to have earned the right to add that title to my name,” Wells said.
