Enhance your videography skills with the NCRA Certified Legal Video Specialist certification

There are just a few days left to register for the May Certified Legal Video Specialist (CLVS) Production Exam. 

If you have been thinking about a career in legal videography; have experience with video cameras, mixers, and lighting; or if you’re interested in preserving the legal record, this exam is for you. We’re looking for people who want to turn their videography skills into a successful career by training to become a Certified Legal Video Specialist (CLVS).

Sign up by April 23 to secure your spot for the NCRA Certified Legal Video Specialist (CLVS) Production Exam being held May 2-3 at our headquarters in Reston, Va.

What to expect

Candidates must have taken the mandatory CLVS Certification Education first, which is available online through the NCRA Learning Center.

During the production exam, candidates will run the show at a staged deposition and be graded on their ability to follow video deposition guidelines and to produce a usable, high-quality video of the deposition.

Those registered for the May exam dates are strongly encouraged to also register for the optional pre-exam hands-on training. This training on May 1 will provide candidates with the opportunity to participate in a mock deposition and gain valuable experience with a camera like the one they will use during their test.

Important dates:

  • Registration closes – April 23
  • Hands-on Training: May 1 – afternoon
  • Production Exam: May 2-3 – morning/afternoon slots

Exam cost: NCRA members: $325; nonmembers: $425

Optional hands-on training cost: NCRA Members: $200; nonmembers $300

The last step in the CLVS credentialing process is to take and pass the CLVS Written Knowledge Test (WKT). Candidates for the WKT are required to complete the mandatory CLVS Certification Education online first as questions on the exam are developed from the educational materials provided.

For cost and registration information for the CLVS Mandatory Certification Workshop and the CLVS WKT, visit NCRA.org/CLVS.  

NCRA members who hold another credential such as the Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) can earn 0.25 PDC each after passing the CLVS Written Knowledge Test and the CLVS Production Exam.
