:: Legal Office Assistant

During this 36-week program, students will be guided through courses covering everything from Dictatyping to Corporate Law to Conveyancing. Near the end of the course, students will learn job search skills and complete a practicum, which has proven to be a contributing factor to the success of this program.

Previous graduates have found employment in a variety of offices, including law firms, court registries, government departments, and private corporations. BC Work Futures includes Legal Secretaries in the large Secretaries, Recorders, and Transcribers occupational group, and is forecasting 6,710 job openings within this group by 2008. The occupational group Paralegals and Related Occupations, which includes Legal Assistants, is predicted to have 1,950 job openings by 2008, due largely to retirements.

Our graduates have found the instruction they received in this program crucial to landing the jobs they want:

Lisa Winget - Legal Office Assistant graduate;

"I had just left a job and was tired of working dead end jobs for minimum wage...I was across the parking lot getting a loan and decided to check out what the school was all about.

I looked through all of the pamphlets and I was most interested in the LOA diploma program.

I am definitely planning on working as a LOA for a few years, but I plan on going back to school eventually to become a Notary Public. My long term career goal is to become a Justice of the Peace.

I feel much better about myself, getting this Diploma took alot of hard work and determination. Now I feel as though I have done something very beneficial to my future and my families future. I think I have grown as a person and this experience and accomplishment will open many doors for me and my family."

Sincerely,
Lisa Winget

“I really enjoyed the legal office assistant program at Excel Career College. The instructors were excellent and not only provided an encouraging and challenging course, but they made it fun too! The course not only included classroom education, but also thoroughly prepared me for a real-life working environment. Excel Career College played a pivotal role in my employment at a law firm on the mainland, they called me to let me know of the opportunity there, I applied, and I got the job. I would highly recommend the legal office assistant program at Excel Career College."
