ADVANCED PARALEGAL CERTIFICATION
These courses are for those seeking advanced instruction in the subject as well as Certified Paralegals seeking advanced certification in specific practice areas. Certification is national, not state based. Registrants complete the course material online at their own pace. It usually takes 20 hours per course; 10 hours for the smaller personal injury practice area courses. CLE credit is available to Certified Paralegals upon completion of an APC course. Click here for APC information from NALA.
