Same goes for their HR and Accountancy/Finance courses. The courses are just basic e-learning courses that do not have any formal qualifications attached to them. You would be better off finding free e-learning content or if you wanted a formal qualification, finding a recognised educational institution that provides a formal qualification (this will say something like Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6 or Level 7). But even then you don't need formal qualifications to be a paralegal.The major red flags of these companies are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They never provide any details of who their trainers are</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They never detail the employers they are placing people with</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Their employees on LinkedIn never have any connection to or experience within the industries these programmes sit within</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Many of their reviews are likely to be fake - its very easy to pay someone a couple of dollars to write a glowing review for a service they have never accessed. </li> </ul>And this is before we even get on to the question around how ethical it is to encourage people to work for free for 3 months on the basis that it will make them more employable.Reddit and RollonFriday have been clear in how they feel about these companies:[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/exclusive-company-charges-aspiring-lawyers-ps1995-paralegal-training[/URL][MEDIA=reddit]uklaw/comments/1g6d0pp[/MEDIA][MEDIA=reddit]uklaw/comments/1gk0rw6[/MEDIA][MEDIA=reddit]uklaw/comments/1g9cm6f[/MEDIA]I also looked into these companies earlier in the year and posted about them here: <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-180166" target="_blank">https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/threads/tcla-vacation-scheme-applications-discussion-thread-2023-24.8037/post-180166</a>They also like to threaten people like me who speak out about how ethical their companies are, often threatening we will be taken to court for defamation (when they clearly don't even know what defamation is). They are ridiculously unethical on a number of levels, including getting bots to flood Reddit forums with positive reviews or requests to ban Reddit forum users/remove content that speaks badly of them.There is a reason everyone I know speaks so badly of them, and its because we think their business model is completely unethical.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
