Certification or Licensing
Paralegals are not required to be licensed or certified, however, many become certified to be a more competitive job applicant or to advance their career. The NFPA offers two credentialing exams. The Paralegal CORE Competency Exam (PCCE) is targeted toward early-career and entry-level paralegals and allows use of the designation, CRP, after one's name. Those further along in their careers may sit for the Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam (PACE), which results in the RP designation.
