Question Are there any online paralegal schools that offer a one year program for a cirtificate and what type of certificate would that be?
Thanks,
Triche
Answer Hello Tamara,
Thanks for asking a question. I do not know of any one year online paralegal programs. I do know of a one year program at Alvin College in Texas for those who already have some schooling or training (not online):
Paralegal programs are generally two years and result in a certificate.
Be very careful about online programs. Many in the legal profession do not support this type of program. The best programs are ABA (American Bar Association) approved paralegal programs. Do not spend money on programs that do not meet their guidelines.
Good luck with your search,
Cindy Wolfe
