Do to NO proper communication between CLS support department, the instructor, the Westlaw and student(my self) while I have 4 or 5 PP2 platforms for module two in Paralegal and it has been year and a half while it’s supposed to be 2 sessions of 6 weeks for me to complete class and receive my certification, unfortunately ,as expected, grades being arranged before I started PP1 I am failing the class. Sadly but truly.😒

Good course, but...

Good course, but policy too rigid for an online course.
I paid roughly $2000 for my daughter to take this course. She had medical health problems that prevented her from completing both courses within the arbitrary 6 month deadline. They gave her an extension on part one, but not on part 2 ( if you have to redo 1, thenyou would naturally run out of time for 2 and would logically need an extension for that as well.) we didnt ask for a refund, just more time, which would cost CLS nothing.
Lost all money and gained nothing from this course, because of an illness. Their strictness was unnecessary. Flexibility is the main benefit of online education. Course is good!

Worth it

I recently completed a Paralegal Certification through CLS and would definitely recommend it. I work a full time and part time job and was still able to complete the program. I'll admit some weeks were challenging as certifications basically cram a lot of assignments into several week time periods but it's doable. They outline exactly what will be due each week ahead of time so you're able to plan ahead if you know your time will be extremely limited during a certain week. Certifications are a good way to continue your education, especially for those of us who graduated college many years ago. Also, I was financed without interest and the total amount of the program was reasonable.
