Thanks to PTI credits, Jennifer Black enrolls directly into upper division of Criminal Justice Administration program at University of Phoenix, and will receive her bachelor's degree next summer. She writes: "Last week I clicked on the U of Phoenix link on our PTI homepage and learned of the agreement between U of P and PTI with regard to college credits, etc. Thought this was GREAT. Went to U of P down the street, talked to a counselor about being 30 years old, having no college degree and wanting to be an attorney. (Some things don't hit us until later in life, I guess.) Spent three hours with the counselor (the BEST)-- she actually cared about me and my goals. I showed her our website, walked her through the site, showed her my course grades and she was on the phone with PTI in a minute to talk business. My PTI credits along with previous college credits wiped out my lower division requirements and she enrolled me straight into the upper division courses for the BS in Criminal Justice Administration. Next summer I will be receiving my degree and then finally I can pursue the dream of becoming an attorney. It goes to show that where there's a will, there's a way, and I am thrilled to be enrolled in this paralegal program because it's a great experience, valuable knowledge and it has saved me so much time with regard to getting a degree. At the same time, I am preparing to interview in the legal arena once I graduate PTI. Wow. It's all coming together." Steve Lyddane applies PTI credits toward bachelor's degree in economic fraud investigation. He is currently enrolled in a program at Utica College, and plans to join a federal agency in a paralegal position upon graduation.

Upcoming PTI Courses:
Law firm of Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt sends 4 students to PTI's new Constitutional Law course. Having been happy with past PTI courses taught in the field of Business Law & Bankruptcy, Schwabe, Williamson and Wyatt is sending new students to PTI's upcoming Constitutional Law course.
PTI student, Maube Mor, uses skills learned at PTI to assist attorneys. "I feel that I have learned a vast body of information in a very short time. This has been invaluable in working with the attorneys I assist. Because I have this background now, I can understand the concepts they are dealing with, I can be a sounding board when needed, and I can better prepare the materials they need. For example: when preparing documents to submit to insurance companies ( in personal injury cases) or for court proceedings, knowing what is/is not important makes me much more efficient and better able to streamline a presentation. Why waste time gathering information that has no affect or is extraneous?! Knowing the laws that are the basis for the case or claim to be presented, means knowing what is essential and what needs to be emphasized. By assembling this, claims or cases can be settled quicker and with better results. "
PTI student working at Phoenix law firm of Crosby & Gladner, P.C., much
