PCCE Assurance of Learning Program

The Paralegal CORE Competency Exam (PCCETM) is nationally validated as a standard knowledge base for entry-level and early career paralegals, and paralegal programs nationwide use it as an exit exam or assurance of learning tool. Register your school for the PCCE Assurance of Learning program and receive an Annual School Performance Report with detailed, school-specific outcome data on your students' exam performance. Download a flyer about the NFPA Assurance of Learning program.

NFPA offers two ways to incorporate the Assurance of Learning into your paralegal program; you can register as an Affiliate or Partner school for free. The Assurance of Learning Program is open only to AAfPE members and/or ABA accredited paralegal programs.  Use this link to register your program.
