Hello! Do you live in Connecticut? I see their program is CBA approved (Connecticut Bar Association).
In my opinion, I do think it is best to do a Paralegal program in the state where you live - or plan to work. An ABA program is best (American Bar Association), as some firms will prefer it. I found that my paralegal work was pretty specific to Pennsylvania and didn’t necessarily apply to Ohio when I moved. (Which also depends on what area of the law you work in).
