South Coast College - Orange, California

South Coast College is an excellent trade school that has multiple fields of interest to choose from. I graduated from their Court Reporting program back in 2014. The teachers are diligent, knowledgeable, and encourage students through the classes. They are always available and happy to answer questions or take time to hear any concerns and advise how you can move forward. If you are even curious about what South Coast College has to offer, it's worth your time and efforts to set up a tour to get a first-hand look and insight of what they have to offer.

The teachers and staff here are amazing! They overly prepare you for your state exams, making your state exam process smooth and fun! I’m honored to have graduated from South Coast College and would recommend this school to anyone who is ready to jump into a new career.

When I decided I wanted to become a court reporter, I looked into accredited, superior schools in Southern California . South Coast College was the only physical establishment that hit all the checks on my list. South Coast has such a helpful, hands-on staff that I never felt in the dark about anything, which was very important for me in an educational setting. I qualified for the CSR Examination and graduated in 2.5 years. If you want to be successful in a good career, check out the court reporting program at South Coast. They have other credible programs as well.

I loved the hands on experience I received from this school. Every teacher knows your name and wants to help you succeed. They take their time after classes to give you extra guidance. The atmosphere was always positive and uplifting. They all help you to try to pass as well as help to keep you motivated when you're not passing. Because I went to South Coast, I've been able to have a very successful career in the few years I've been a reporter, and I have them to thank for everything I've accomplished. So thank you, South Coast, for all that you did and continue to do each day!

I love and loved South Coast College. The best thing about it was its staff. From its court reporting instructors to its paralegal program, everything is taught and intended to provide the student with the best opportunity to leave its halls with knowledge superlative to that of students from anywhere else.

What are your chances of obtaining a position in the legal office as a court reporter, paralegal or legal assistant? That is probably what I should have asked myself prior to obtaining a "less-than-godly" student loan! I graduated mentally prepared - but financially not quite ready to work at the rate at which most legal firms hire those fresh out of school!

Although I work in a field completely unrelated to that in which I was trained (I graduated from the paralegal program and am one of two people now running a surgical company.) I maintain the hope that I will become an integral part of a firm, foundation or group that will recognize my training. Hats off to you, SCC, the "best little college in California!"

I am forever grateful to South Coast College. Because of South Coast's amazing faculty, I now have the career of my dreams. I chose this school because it is one of the very few accredited court reporting programs in Southern California. If you look at the list of new CSRs put out after each test, South Coast ALWAYS produces the most graduates.
I came to South Coast straight out of high school, barely an adult. I left at age 21 as a working professional, making more money than any of my peers who attended a four-year college. Once I entered the workforce, agencies immediately took more interest in me after seeing South Coast College on my resume. Even when I meet other reporters out in the field, whether I knew them or not, they almost always are South Coast graduates.
Thank you, South Coast College.

This school offered me so much more than a career. I have been able to build my entire life off of the knowledge and skills that this school has given me. I tell everyone I know to become a court reporter! I couldn’t have done it without all of the amazing help from the teachers and staff! Forever in debt for this wonderful gift I’ve been given.

South Coast College has proved my agency, Regal Court Reporting, with all of our staff reporters and most of our over-flow reporters. There is no better program in LA or Orange County for teaching, training and graduating court reporters than this school. Our founding partner and owner is herself a South Coast College alumnus and she has successfully grown our agency over seven years largely due to the skills she learned there.
