Free Secretarial courses online

Legal secretaries schedule appointments, prepare and file legal documents, and handle office finances and management for attorneys and law firms. Here are a few qualities that effective legal secretaries have in common:

• Detail oriented: It’s important to have a sharp eye and check things twice.
• Dependable: Clients and coworkers rely on you to get the job done.
• Flexible: You are productive despite changes in the office.
• Affable: You make others feel welcome and relaxed in potentially stressful situations.

After completing my Legal Secretary Program, I received many interviews for legal secretary and the employers were very impressed with my knowledge. I also received three job offers. Enrolling in Penn Foster is the smartest thing you can do. I love Penn Foster, and I'm going to start another program to get an even better career in paralegal studies! I can't wait!

Wonderful option to pay as you go. I also went to another online university and obtained my AAS in Criminal Justice degree and ended up with 14k in student loan debt. I got military discounts, Pell grants and Military TA but still was not enough to cover all expenses while I went to school full time. Love the Penn Foster pay as you go plan because it stays off your credit and helps you meet your education goals. I am taking the Legal Secretary Course now and I am paid in full, feels great to owe nothing and get a great education from an accredited school.
