CRI Continuing Education & Certification 4

Question 1

A court reporting instructor holds both CRI and RMR credentials. How are their CE requirements handled?

Accepted Answer

CEUs are pooled — meeting one credential's requirement satisfies both

Answer

NCRA allows a single pool of 30 CEUs to satisfy renewal for all credentials held, as long as ethics hours are included.

Question 2

If a state court reporting association has a CE requirement that differs from NCRA's, what must a dually-licensed CRI do?

Accepted Answer

Comply with whichever standard is higher or meet both sets independently

Answer

CRIs must satisfy both state and NCRA requirements independently; compliance with one does not automatically satisfy the other.

Question 3

Which of the following CE activities would NOT typically qualify for NCRA credit toward CRI renewal?

Accepted Answer

Attending a general business management seminar unrelated to court reporting

Answer

CE activities must be relevant to court reporting practice or instruction; general business seminars with no connection to the profession are ineligible.

Question 4

Under NCRA policy, what is the maximum proportion of required CEUs that can be earned through self-study activities in one renewal cycle?

Accepted Answer

All 30 CEUs may be earned via self-study

Answer

NCRA does not impose a cap on self-study CEUs; all 30 required units may be fulfilled through approved self-study programs.

Question 5

A CRI candidate who recently passed the RPR exam wants to apply for the CRI. Which additional component is typically required?

Accepted Answer

Submitting a portfolio demonstrating teaching experience and skill

Answer
