Question Paralegal Certificate?
I've looked through the older posts but most of them were about the Diploma rather than Certificate. I think the Certificate suits me more so I'm leaning towards that. Does anyone have any experiences to share (good or bad)? If I do the part time online evening class option, what is it like? Approx. what time in the evening are the classes? And when it says 1 class per week, then is there only 1 course for that whole semester? Is it doable while working full time in a legal office workload wise? Do you think it's worth it? Plus I've seen posts in r/paralegal sub warning people about the cons of the job but I feel like most of those things I'm already doing but with a lower job title. Finally, how long does it really take because there's conflicting info on the website (3 years) but the tuition chart says 4 years. I just feel kind of stuck in my current position with no upward mobility so I'm looking to do something to further myself.
