In the Office Administration - Legal program at Centennial College, you'll see the legal system unfold before your eyes.

This college business diploma program's courses will not only allow you to develop core office administration skills but will also focus on:

• Legal office environments;
• Building an understanding of current issues in Canadian law;
• Specialized areas of practice such as civil litigation, family law, real estate, wills and estate;
• The use of specialized legal office software, with an emphasis on computer-generated document production and word processing.

To round out the Office Administration - Legal training, in the final term you'll complete a two-day-per-week field placement during which you'll have the opportunity to apply specific legal office administration skills. Among these skills will be the preparation of legal documents using word processing, legal terminology, and office procedures used in law firms or corporate legal departments.

The field placement will be organized and supervised by program faculty members and College staff, who will work closely with you to help you find a placement well suited to your needs. While the placement will be unpaid, it will provide valuable resume enhancement experience.

Please note: Upon graduation from the Office Administration - Legal program, you'll have the option to advance your education by seamlessly transferring into The Business School's Law Clerk program (#2804).
