Student Testimonials

Since graduating, I found my home in Mobile, Alabama where I was a criminal defense and family law paralegal, working my way up to Senior Paralegal. I was there from the year I graduated in 2013 until December of 2023. I am now working for myself as a freelance paralegal and mediator! Things are booming thanks to the reputation I have established over the last decade in my field and I am able to now stay home and have a better quality of life with my family.

I have had nothing but hands on help and encouragement from start to finish and even to this day over ten years later!! If you love this position and this work? Keep going! This is one of the professions where you do not have to limit yourself, and with the qualifications and your experienced that is gained by the doors that open for you BECAUSE of your education with Lakewood? You can easily work in many other professions entering at an immediate higher level. The only limit…..is you!

Lakewood University made it possible for me to obtain my paralegal diploma, while still being able to raise three children and work full-time. The program was easy to understand, required work was spaced out with plenty of time to finish, and the professor was knowledgeable and caring. Lakewood made it easy and rewarding to grow not only as a student but as a professional also. Studying at Lakewood taught me the time management skills I needed to obtain my diploma and the self confidence I needed to try something outside my comfort zone

Lakewood University’s Paralegal Diploma paved the way for my current success. I use many of my acquired skills and abilities in my daily professional life. I have traversed the professional legal landscape to include military law and civilian law.

Throughout my time, I learned more than what I needed and quickly promoted. I am eternally grateful for the Lakewood faculty and staff. I am a high earner because of my education at Lakewood University!

I went from earning five to six figures. I understand the fundamentals of the legal landscape and can effectively advise my leaders as well as make important regulatory decisions. I learned the value of leadership and how to employ leadership through a legal perspective. I feel honored to have graduated from Lakewood!

My life has changed due to me receiving my degree and finally finishing college. I can take this degree with me anywhere. I will use my degree to either further my education or do a Trade. I have not decided yet but because of my Associate degree I can go further in any career I choose thereafter. Thank you, Lakewood. My motivation and confidence has increased because I feel like I can accomplish anything.

Upon completing my paralegal certificate at Lakewood University, I contemplated how I could integrate my new skills with assisting a meaningful cause – helping veterans. Lakewood’s thorough curricula and practical legal training equipped me to navigate the intricacies of intellectual property law.

When starting at Veterans Intellectual Property (VIP), I felt compelled to support heroes seeking to protect innovations or works by securing intellectual property rights. My Lakewood education provided invaluable preparation, imparting the legal knowledge and sense of social responsibility to serve the greater good.

At VIP, I have proudly led efforts to furnish veterans with resources and backing as they develop concepts. Whether simplifying opaque patent processes, unraveling trademark registrations, or providing copyright guidance, our affirmative impact is seen through veterans’ success stories.

Since attending Lakewood university my life has changed. I was to obtain many certificates that help me in my everyday life. I get employment assistance and other help from the University. I also got letters of recommendation that came with my certificates. I will be forever grateful for Lakewood U.

The courses taken with Lakewood assisted me in providing the knowledge base to give me an edge in beginning my coaching practice. Lakewood provided a professional learning environment and cared about my learning experience. The courses provided through the school are attractive and cutting edge for learners to get what they need and gain the confidence before jumping on a venture. The competition on the coaching world is that there are some that in one weekend can attend a seminar and call themselves a coach. This 600 course unless for a certification that further validates and gives an edge that the certification was gained on a collegiate level and not a workshop.

Lakewood University taught me a lot about my program. Taking that and using it to start a new program was a huge plus. Thank you Lakewood University. Being able to learn a lot of information for a short period of time is a plus as well. I couldn’t ask for more for my past experience here at Lakewood.

I’m a better person from my time and also a better student.

This course helped me learn a lot about the medicines that my husband was taking. I never intended for this to be my career but instead learned all I could about the medicines my disabled husband was taking so that I could take better care of him.

I work in a High School now and still spread some of that knowledge to my students, which they find fascinating. I have always recommended this University to others as a great online school for others who are/were associated with the military.

Attending this school has given me the confidence to try more things, and new things, and try my best at everything I put my mind to.

I have begun my career as a pharmacy technician. I work Kroger Pharmacy. I’ve learned so much since becoming a technician. I help deal with the orders that come in along with our everyday tasks. When I began this program my husband was deployed. So it helped me get my footing in my transition out of the military while dealing with that. This program gave my skills that will help me grow towards my next steps in life. I also was just given a pay rise for my hard work. I was able to prove to myself that even after a TBI. I can still move forward with my life. It has brought me skills to handle everyday tasks and socially this job has brought a voice I never had.

I have so much confidence in my job, it’s all owed to the excellent instructions of my professor.

The course was incredibly helpful. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue to use my education as a resource. The course was accessible, practical, and helpful. I now am more familiar with the strategies used to help people become millionaires through real estate. I’ve gained the ability to communicate my real estate goals in addition to having the confidence to execute my strategies. 

It has afforded me another income opportunity. In this ERA it helps to have more information to bring as experience to am employer.

Lakewood as been a tremendous blessing to me and my family. I studied both paralegal and mediation studies that has proven to be beneficial in my church and home life. Lakewood Paralegal and Mediation classes are terrific and love the instructors

Lakewood was there to help me with any questions I had while attending. I would definitely recommend it to any of my family or friends to attend. I’ve completed not just one but two certificates through Lakewood University. I would definitely consider doing another program through this University. Going to Lakewood showed me that I’m able to do anything when I set my mind to it. I was pregnant and also had a toddler the second time I attended, and finished my certificate several months ahead of time. The first time I’d just moved to a new state where I knew no one and was a new wife and mother so I thought school was going to be harder, but with Lakewood it made it a breeze. It was also easy finding a job after and they were more than willing to help me find a job that worked around my schedule. 

Instructors were informative. Classes were easy to understand. Medical billing has many opportunities in the medical field. There is a wealth of information to use. I have expressed my passion to others about Lakewood University and have encouraged them to major in one of the many courses offered. My life has changed knowing that I have a future job in the medical field because I have been taught by one of the best schools in the US. I am motivated to look for a job in the medical billing field and have encouraged others to pursue the career as a medical biller.

After graduating I became more knowledgeable in Paralegal field. It has opened up more possibilities for jobs and what jobs I can apply for. It has also helped me gain the knowledge on laws and legal advice in America. It is pretty close to the laws of my country but this was a great experience and a great course. I gained more knowledge either it’s admin jobs or paralegal jobs. So, my confidence was enhanced after graduation.

I have been able to successfully acquire jobs that I actually enjoy. Having done the programs at Lakewood, it has opened doors that would have not opened if not for the education received. I am now able/qualified to help patients get the care they need and deserve and that is the type of impact I wanted to leave in this world. I have been able to obtain jobs that are not entry level and geared towards the career I chose. Its fulfilling knowing that you’re making an impact in someone’s life no matter how big or small. I am helping patients improve/Better their well-being by my work and I would not want it any other way. I will forever be grateful to Lakewood for giving me the opportunity to have a career I am proud of and love. 

I have been able to learn more in the medical field and understand the language and terms. It has helped me to further a career but also helped me in my personal life as well. I know what questions to ask the doctors when I go to doctor appointments.  It has given me the courage and strength in ways I didn’t imagine.

Hello, I’ve enrolled in varies programs throughout the years from automotive technology to recording arts. I am currently in the Pharmacy Technician program here at Lakewood and it’s been great. I’m almost finished with my course work and will begin my externship in a local pharmacy here soon. The virtual tutorials and meetings are awesome.
