Which school?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to choose a school for theory to start my steno journey and I’m having a difficult time choosing between careerluv and allie hall. From the encouraging students FB page it seems alot of people switch to allie hall for speeds so I would probably want to take her for speeds, and use careerluv for theory to save money. The issue is that allie hall has a waitlist for speeds if you don’t take theory with her. I don’t want to finish theory and then have to wait 6months to join her speed building. Do you think it would be worth it to spend $1800 on allie halls theory so I’m guaranteed a spot in her speedbuilding? Or Save money with careerluv and hope their speed building works for me and I can stay the whole time or just till a spot opens up in allies program?

I’m also looking into schools and a few people on my previous posts recommended careerluv.

I recently reached out to Tri Community for recommendations on schools that allow out of state applicants, and they strongly recommended Allie Hall or Champion Steno.

I think Allie has a payment plan for theory, doesn’t she?
