What is the continuing education requirement for Georgia certified court reporters?
There are two requirements – a one-time class, called LEAP, for newly certified Georgia court reporters; and an ongoing training requirement of 10 hours per year. CE Requirement for Newly Certified Court Reporters: Each newly certified court reporter shall be required to take the first Learning Essentials About Professionalism (LEAP) seminar authorized by the Board after their certification. Annual CE Requirement: Each certified court reporter shall be required to attend a minimum of 10 hours of approved training per calendar year. However, any reporter issued an initial certificate is not required to acquire credit hours for that calendar year, except that every newly certified Georgia court reporter shall complete the LEAP seminar required hereinabove.
