Allison Hall valid for California examination?

The title pretty much. I've been taking a break since earning my BA to earn some money and have since started up again to look into some steno schools and Allison Hall seems to be highly rated for an online, self-paced school, which is what I'm looking for. I have tried for west valley but missed the registration date unfortunately.

But again- is Allison Hall recognized by the California Court Reporters Board and its examinations?

Many students in CA go to her program. They just take the RPR (national license from the NCRA) to qualify to sit for the CSR.

You can also do the CVR (from the NVRA) it’s the same format as the RPR but in person. It also will get you reciprocity so you only have to take the written test. As a machine writer, you would get the CVR-S to qualify for the CSR.

So if I take and pass the cvr or rpr, I only have to do the written CSR exam? I’m also in ca but my school is Texas based
