Since obtaining my diploma through OTC, this with my work experience,
has enabled me to become a Fellow of the Institute of Paralegals.
I would thoroughly recommend the OTC training programme. The lectures
are easy to understand, well presented and convenient. Anyone wishing
to take the leap from secretary to fee earner, this is definitely the route to
take.
I cannot thank all those involved with OTC
enough for their help and enthusiasm.
Kind regards

I bless the day I enrolled on your course after before Christmas last
year which was a bad time. I am pleased to tell you that I have
been offered a permanent job with a starting salary of £20,000.00
on a 3-month probation period.
I am so glad that my friend at the United Nations told me about your
College. It has given me the direction that I really want to take. I
have an interview at the end of the month and I cant wait to let
you know what happened.
Thanks for such an interesting course.

completing the legal secretary programme.
All the best

I had never done an Internet Course before doing this one. I
thoroughly enjoyed it and I learned so much more than I thought I
would.
I will recommend this course to anyone.
...............Carol
It is very convenient doing the course from home and being still able to talk
live to our tutor and the recorded video lessons make it possible to listen to
the lessons.

I very much look forward to doing the course. I have already
managed to obtain a job with a lawyers that have taken me on as a
junior with a start salary of £16,000 which I have been told will
increase upon completion of this course.
I applied to all the lawyers telling them what my plans were and I
was fortunate to be offered a job with one of the biggest lawyers
in Gibraltar. I live in Spain and commute to Gibraltar which is only
about half hour away - so I live in one country and work in another.

I am thirty two years old and have been in study but your style to deliver a
lecture is remarkable. I really want to carry on my further courses in the
same field with you, if you have.

Hello Wendy
So sorry I forgot to tell you, I got a temporary job in a law firm as a
legal secretary. I basically do different things from typing,
Immigration case work, attending court etc. It´s in a law firm in
Tottenham North London. I would like to know when I will get my
diploma, as I need it to show to my Employers. Thank you for
everything and hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards
..............Yemi.
I have paid my course fee of £250.00 and the £25 resit fee. I don’t
wish to make anymore payment as I do not have a job and can’t
afford anymore payment. I hope to pass all my exams this time
around.
Kind regards
.............Yemi
Hi Wendy,
The course was so interesting and I learned so much that I want to move on
further to do a Paralegal degree. Will you be doing any course of that
kind in the near future? The lawyers in my Chambers are so impressed
they want the other girls to do the same.
Thank you

I have been most impressed with
the flexible nature of this course
and with the unlimited support that
I have been offered.
I have completed the course from
Thailand and have found Wendy
extremely helpful when I have
experienced communication
challenges this end!
The course was presented clearly
and I have thoroughly enjoyed
studying! Thank you!

Good afternoon Wendy,
I wish to thank you for your help and kindness throughout the course.
You are an excellent tutor and made lessons interesting and
understandable throughout. I have enjoyed the course and it was quite
sad to finish.
I am pleased to hear that I have passed but can only say that this could
not have been accomplished without your excellent tutorship.
Once again many thanks.
With kind regards,
............. Sharon
Hi Wendy,
Just to give you some feedback since completing the course at OTC.
Firstly, it has secured me a position as a junior paralegal assistant with my
Firm. Previous to this I was a legal secretary with them for a couple of
years.
Gaining my diploma from such a highly rated international training college
has worked wonders for my career.
Many thanks and keep up the good work.

This is a fantastic course I loved every second of it! You are one of the best teachers I ever had. I never had any problems in
understanding the topics and you were very helpful whenever I needed some guidance. I never studied law before and I am
so glad my first try was through this course.
Thank you again Wendy.

Hi,
You wanted to be kept updated, so I thought I should let you know
that an agency has passed my CV over to a firm of solicitors.
They havent any vacancies at the moment but the guy who
contacted me was so impressed with my CV he wants to meet me
when he returns from his over seas business trip. If he likes me in
person as much as on paper he will create a role for me! Fingers
crossed!

I took the 10 week legal secretary course in July of 1998. It covered bits of everything, conveyancing and litigation. I did
learn the forms and procedures for conveyancing as well, it actually came in very handy when I bought my house in
Northants!
I started working at Clyde & Co in London til end of October 99, when I went on mat leave. In 2001 we emigrated to Canada
and have been here ever since. I started working as an admin assistant but changed back to legal in 2002. I've been working
in corporate securities ever since.
When I first got here, because I didn't have a Canadian legal diploma, I was told that I likely would want to re-certify etc, but
then I was tested and haven't had any issues since.
I think that given how much of a fantastic teacher you are (I have to say, I did really enjoy the way you taught the subjects,
you made it make sense), it's wonderful that you can now help so many other students. Congratulations. If anyone should
ever want to contact me to ask directly, I'm fine with that too.
