In the school I went to, 2 years was the expectation with graduation requirements being 240 WPM with 98% accuracy.
How quickly you actually got there was very much dependent on the person. Some do it quicker than 2 years with little practice, some do it slower than 2 years with a lot of practice, and some appeared to be unable to reach the requirements at all.
I don't really remember too well at this point but it maybe took me a few months to get to 30 - 40 WPM, maybe a year to get to 120, and year and a half in total for 240.
I don't think it's practical or worth it for the vast majority of people to learn stenography to be honest. That being said, Plover is a nice and much needed initiative, I'm glad it exists.
- ChrisRR 5y agoWhat was this course? Was it a dedicated stenography course or taught stenography as part of something else?
- suby 5y agoIt was at a small accredited school which offered associate degrees in court reporting (also degrees in a handful of other subjects such as accounting). I had to complete a few other courses not strictly related to stenography, but the degree itself was an associates degree in court reporting.
