The Certified Verbatim Reporter (CVR) is a nationally recognized certification designation for court reporters in the United States. It is provided by the National Verbatim Reporters Association (NVRA).
There are two parts court reporters must pass in order to obtain an CVR certificate: a written knowledge test and a dictation speed skills test.
After completing the CVR test, reporters must maintain this certification by renewing NVRA membership and completing certain other requirements provided by the NVRA.
Written Knowledge Test
The written knowledge test is a 100 question exam that evaluates a reporter's knowledge in court reporting, transcript production, operating practices, and professional issues and continuing education. The reporter has 90 minutes to take this section and must obtain a score of at least 70% to pass.[1]
Speed Skills Test
There are three categories evaluated in the speed skills test, each lasting five minutes long:
- Literary, at 200 words per minute (WPM)
- Jury Charge, at 225 WPM
- Testimony (or questions and answers), at 250 WPM
The reporter must obtain a 95% accuracy rate in each of these three parts in order to pass. Reporters have 75 minutes to transcribe each of the three parts.
