Other Paralegal Certification Programs

There are also paralegal certification programs offered through national voluntary paralegal associations, including the National Association of Legal Assistants (“NALA”) and the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (“NFPA”). Paralegal certification by these nongovernmental organizations is a voluntary process in which applicants who satisfy certain requirements, including completion of an approved educational program, passage of a qualifying exam or documented work experience, are certified. Certification is distinct from a certificate of completion, which generally is awarded upon successful completion of an educational or training program.
