Court Transcription- Novice

The Ministry of the Attorney General (MAG) has announced a new model for transcript production where court transcripts will be produced and certified by independent, authorized court transcriptionists.

A list of authorized court transcriptionists will be available to the public, and all persons ordering transcripts of court proceedings must select a transcriptionist exclusively from this registry.

This exciting new career offers many opportunities including self-employment, the choice to earn income from home, the flexibility of choosing the amount of work you wish to accept and options to partner or work with other authorized persons.

Upon successful completion of the course (requiring a 98% pass on final exam), the student will have met the transcript qualification standards as set out by the Ministry of the Attorney General and will be eligible to become an authorized court transcriptionist in accordance with and pursuant to the Attorney General's Approval and Authorization made under Ontario Regulation 158/03.

Students will learn transcription procedures required to produce certified transcripts from all court jurisdictions according to ministry standards set by legislation, regulation, policy and practice directions.
