Paralegal Certificate: Nationally Acclaimed Education Provider Ramps Up For Summer Classes

Golden, Colorado. April 2011. Summer sessions for the online Paralegal Certificate Course and many other courses in the legal field begins May 2, 2011. For more than 30 years, The Center for Legal Studies has been partnering with colleges and universities across the country to provide the most flexible and affordable legal training available. They currently offer Paralegal, Legal Nurse Consultant, Legal Secretary and many other programs through more than 100 institutions nationwide.

Students are able to choose any one of the many prestigious schools that are partnered with the center. Upon completion, certificates are issued from the student’s school of choice to market themselves toward gainful employment. The mission of The Center for Legal Studies has never been more relevant than it is today. With unemployment numbers across the nation continuing to rise, it is critical that workers in transition gain the skills they need to secure employment in new fields with documented growth patterns. The US Department of Labor reports that the Paralegal Profession will rise 28% by the year 2018.

“I just finished the Paralegal Certificate course, I found the coursework very enjoyable and challenging .... Great course!” - Melissa / Spring 2011

“I completed the Legal Secretary Course in Dec.2010. Since I enrolled online I was able to take my course while I was working. In January I got a job as an Legal Research Assistant, all thanx to CLS.” - Momika / Fall 2010

Departments of Workforce Development provide funding for a wide range of programs and resources for job seekers. Many of the courses provided by The Center for Legal Studies fall under their guidelines for job training and are eligible for financial assistance. Interested students should check with their local workforce office.

Online programs can be completed in as short as 14 weeks for a Paralegal Certificate for as little as $1189 plus books. This is a dramatic difference when compared to an Associate or Bachelor degree program that can take between 2-5 years to complete and cost anywhere from $3,000 to $50,000. The time and expense involved is not a viable option for individuals who need to get work now.
