"I work full-time at Best & Spruill, P.C. and my certification has served as an incredible tool for my advancement in the firm. I have applied to the Rhetoric and Writing Bachelor's Degree program for the Summer 2020 semester. I am hopeful that I will gain entry based on my GPA at ACC (I graduated with my AA in December) paired with the credentials which I earned through the Paralegal Certificate Program. If I am able to attend the University of Texas at Austin for my BA, I plan to continue my education there and attend the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. I feel that the Paralegal Certificate helped me to take the extra step I needed to reach my full potential, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to advance in their paralegal career."

I’m now more confident in my ability to lead, empower and identify ways to nurture and mentor others who are also looking to become leaders or adopt leadership attributes in their own day-to-day lives. This course changed my life and I’m so much happier and confident in my abilities because of it.”
