Teach an NCRA A to Z® Program

NCRA is pleased that you are interested in leading a six- to eight-week NCRA A to Z Intro to Steno Machine Shorthand program.

NCRA A to Z program leaders work with small groups of participants as they learn how to write the alphabet and numbers in steno. This program does not follow any particular theory. Participants use loaner steno machines during sessions and outside practice. Leaders will receive training materials to use during the program.
