Why Students Love ISS
Students consistently praise Internet Scoping School (ISS) for its comprehensive training, hands-on practice, and lifetime support.
I feel very fortunate to have found Linda Evenson's Internet Scoping School back in 2002. I was looking for a work-from-home job, and a friend suggested I become a scopist. If I remember correctly, I had to take a grammar/punctuation/spelling test to check my aptitude for this career, which impressed me. She wasn't looking to just take my money and hope for the best; she was looking for qualified students.
And what a delightful lady to work with! Linda knows the scoping world inside and out and is a great teacher, always willing to help. I don't think you can get any better training.
After a couple of years of scoping full-time, I decided to go to court reporting school. Having been exposed to the scoping world, I really had an advantage. Thanks, Linda!!

This was an excellent course! All the information covered involving the scoping process, Case CATalyst software, and business section was very thorough and exhaustive. There were even tests and exams that helped me see what I needed to work on.
The instructors/assistants were communicative and quick to respond to emails. I definitely feel I got a lot out of my investment and am confident reaching out for work.
I would recommend this course to anyone interested in pursuing a job in this field.

Even after reviewing other potential options, ISS exceeded their expectations by providing step-by-step guidance, an active and supportive community, and real-world preparation that led to actual job success.

I had no previous experience in the court reporting/scoping world, so I was intimidated to say the least. Internet Scoping School provided everything I needed to feel confident to pursue this career.
Since graduating one month ago, I’ve been able to work with a few reporters now and the feedback has all been great.
I highly recommend this program. Linda, along with all the current students and graduates, were always available to answer any specific questions I had along the way, and I still am able to use this wealth of knowledge when I have questions that come up while I work.

Graduates rave about the depth of the course, the responsiveness of the ISS team, and how quickly they were able to land clients after completing the program. ISS isn’t just a course—it’s a career launchpad that delivers on its promise.
I visited the ISS website several times before convincing myself to take the leap. I thought it sounded like something that I would love doing, but it felt like too much to pay for a course. If you feel the same, remember: You get what you pay for!
I thought scoping was basically like editing. But there's so much more that you need to know! It's so specialized, from the terminology to the software to the "code" that court reporters write in. My husband swears it looked like I was learning Klingon! 
There were some sections and skills that I found harder than others, but you know that everything you are learning is valuable and will enable you to hit the ground running as soon as you finish.
Linda Evenson is a fantastic instructor and always generous with her time. She offers not just the wealth of her own experience and knowledge, but that of others as well, including many renowned professionals in different aspects of the scoping field. I also had access to support and suggestions from other students and graduates of the course whenever I had any questions. You are never left on your own to figure things out.
As the end of the course neared, I started to worry about finding clients, but Linda helps you out there too. I received my certificate of completion today and I have my first interview with a client tomorrow! I can't recommend this course enough. Best decision I ever made!
