Scoping Made Affordable (SMA)
May 2008 - Present
joyfulscoping.com
Welcome to the home of Joyful Scoping and the training program of Scoping Made Affordable
(SMA) where you will find lots of assistance to help court reporters and scopists alike:

A trainer and support person who has been in the educational field for over 20 years who simply
strives to make everything in this field easier for all involved.
Lots of one-on-one guidance through your scoping training and/or scoping work.
Access to a job leads program that wants to work with experienced and well-trained scopists once you
qualify.
A scoping training program that is the most comprehensive based on information provided and
submitted for evaluation by the many students enrolled in the Scoping Intern Program (SIP).  
A person who is here for you when you get stuck in the learning/training process.
A person who is oftentimes sought to resolve computer and CAT issues.

                                        Joyful Scoping
This is the company name by which Joyful Leads, Scoping Made Affordable and the Scoping Intern Program are derived from.  I have been truly blessed by the court reporters and scopists who enjoy working with Joyful Scoping, Joyful Leads and Scoping
Made Affordable.
By the way, I truly hope that as you work with me, you'll always feel the positive attitude reflected in the company name.

                                    Scoping Made Affordable (SMA)
This is the scoping training program that began in May of 2008.  Its focus is to provide another choice in scoping training options
for those interested in becoming a scopist.  SMA came about because of the gift of teaching which the Lord has blessed me with
and constantly strives to simply provide scopists in training with the best tools to accomplish their long-term goal of being a
successful scopist.
SMA is the only scoping training program with a Scoping Intern Program (SIP)!!

                                           Scoping Intern Program (SIP)
The Scoping Intern Program was brought to fruition as SMA was teaching its first set of students and graduates from other
training programs wanted to gain the same training experience that occurred through SMA.  The SIP revolves around classes
held on a weekly basis in the virtual classroom, learning to work with your computer-assisted transcription (CAT) program,
submitting scoping samples for evaluation and review to provide you with tasks to work on which will make you be successful in
your scoping career.  
This is the only scoping intern program in existence.  We will be implementing this training with court
reporting students and graduates in the near future.

                                                  
 Joyful Scoping Leads
                            (Connecting court reporters with scopists.)
Joyful Scoping Leads began around the same time as SMA was really getting going with its first round of students.   Because
Joyful Scoping continued to be contacted by court reporters who needed their scoping work done while SMA was taking off, I
felt that it was important to share the blessings I had from being successful with others in the field.  

                               Court Reporter Refresher Course
Providing court reporters and court reporting students the necessary editing training they need that they did not receive in their
previous training. Come experience the only editing training program that teaches more than all other programs because of our
focus on contextual reading skills and fast editing techniques.  It has helped court reporting students pass their exams in a much
easier fashion.


                                           
     Joyful Opportunities
Joyful Opportunities is a new employment workforce project that will begin teaching classes sometime in 2012.
These classes will assist individuals who are wanting to develop their own work-from-home opportunity, whether it is a product
or skill.
If you are looking for work and cannot find a job, but you have a good idea of a product or service and need someone to share
your ideas with, Joyful Opportunities will help you in determining the next steps involved in making that "project" come to life.  It
could be considered as a "Shark Tank" in the classroom setting.  One main difference with Joyful Opportunities is that Joyful
Opportunities will never take your idea for my own money-making venture.  Because I have started three businesses that are all
doing well and thriving, I feel that I have the skills and creativity to help you make your opportunity bloom.  Or if it is something
that will not make it, I will also let you know that.

                                                    
Providing court reporters and court reporting students the necessary editing training they need that they did not receive in their
previous training.

Here is an article from April 2011 of how one courtroom
tried to use recording devices instead of a court reporter
and how they had to go back to using a court reporter.
