Oklahoma College of Court Reporting and Court Reporting Institute of Kansas City serve a single purpose: to prepare our students for the professional positions they will assume as court reporters, captioners and hearing impaired interpreters.

Oklahoma College of Court Reporting and Court Reporting Institute of Kansas City are dedicated to providing quality education. Through the education we have provided, many students, predominantly women, have gained access to careers that continue to offer improved flexibility, independence, and greater earning potential. High school seniors making a first-time career choice and adults looking to retrain, are offered a unique combination of theory and hands-on training that teaches not only "why" but "how," while successfully preparing graduates for immediate employment.

Oklahoma College of Court Reporting and Court Reporting Institute of Kansas City was founded in 1987 by Mr. Joe Welsch, a well respected official court reporter in Central Oklahoma. Under the direction of Mr. Welsch, OCCR became widely respected for providing quality education in the court reporting profession. Mr. Welsch was a pioneer in the late 80s in producing quality video tapes now being used around the country for speedbuilding purposes.

In 1994, Mr. Freddy Leggett took over OCCR and enjoyed much success balancing a well respected court reporting school and free lance court reporting firm.
