I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the Paralegal Studies program at NCC, from which I recently graduated. My time in the program was truly exceptional.I am especially appreciative of the support, assistance, and knowledge provided by Ms. Marina, Ms. Dona, and Mr. Bernie. Their efforts created an atmosphere where every question was valued and thoughtfully addressed.They are the heart of what makes the paralegal studies program exceptional.

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😐

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.
