Advanced Technical Certificate Paralegal/Legal Assisting

The Paralegal/Legal Assisting Advanced Technical certificate is designed to enable students who already hold any college degree (other than the legal assisting A.S. degree) to take paralegal training at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) and qualify to take the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) Certification Examination (CLA/CP) exam. It further prepares those students for work of a legal nature in law offices, corporations or government agencies.
