Enrolled into dental assistant I’m loving it so far. NCC has been nothing but great. Excited for my new beginnings.
Northwest is such a great school with such great teachers and support. This is the best school to make a career. They offer so many resources and opportunities.
The school onboarding process was so simple and easy. The staff members have been absolutely amazing!! Everyone is so kind and uplifting. The classes are interactive and fun and so are the lessons. I'm in the DAA program and its so much more fun than I ever would have thought. If you are thinking about joining this school, I would highly recommend it!!
Graduated from MAP last year. So far so good, I had a pretty good experience in school. I wish the radiology program actually wanted MAP students like they say. Most MAP students would work 9-5 and they don’t have any sort of night classes so it’s just a contradiction. They really don’t want MAP students😐
I am Currently enrolled in the legal program and i couldn't be more happy the teachers are very professional. One of the standout aspects of the program is its exceptional faculty. The professors are not only academically distinguished but also approachable and invested in their students’ success. Many of them bring a wealth of practical experience, which enhances the learning experience by bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. The diverse range of courses, including specialized electives has allowed me to tailor my education to my interests and career goals. Another strength of the program is its extensive network of alumni and professional connections. The program’s career services office also played a pivotal role in which were instrumental in building my resume. Thank you all NCC faculty for you are helping me build my life for success as i am excited to start next year already. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW.
Nevada career institute has been the best decision I have made. You get the best people to help you and the best teacher to introduce you to the medical field and start you off strong. Mrs. Jennifer has done just that. She is very detailed with her lessons and strives for you to gain the best understanding of the topics. Her way of teaching makes it fun to learn and retain so much information. Thank you Mrs. Jennifer for your time and support through my journey. Just as well as Jon who was my recruiter and continues to help me through my journey.

In as little as 18 months.
In order to obtain a traditional law degree, you have to complete four years of undergraduate study and apply for entrance into a law school, which can be very competitive and will take another three to four years to complete. With a Paralegal Studies Associates degree, you can earn an associate or bachelor's degree and begin working in your career as soon as you finish your degree.
Paralegals can be found working in law firms, corporations, business organizations, banks, insurance companies, health organizations, Post-Secondary instructors, and government facilities.
Yes! Northwest Career College has partnerships with several universities to help our students advance their Associate degree to a higher degree!
Nevada does not have any licensure requirements for Paralegals, but employers typically prefer to hire individuals with formal training if they lack prior work experience in the legal field. Paralegals are not usually considered entry-level employees.
The average salary for Paralegals in Nevada is $59,200 per year. Graduates entering the field with formal education but no experience should expect a lower starting salary than average while they gain experience. Graduates then have significant opportunities to increase their earning potential, as many paralegals make more than average.
