The NFPA-sponsored PCC Exam (Paralegal CORE Competency). Take your career to the next level! Upon successful completion of the exam, you earn the nationally recognized CRP credential. This review by SFPA is organized to help students prepare and study for the PCC Exam. After the review, you will register directly with NFPA to take the exam.
This is a two-day prep review, with all classes held on two Saturdays at FIU's Tamiami Campus. The review begins with a short orientation to answer any questions you may have regarding the exam (e.g., eligibility, application, etc..). The mock exam on the last day provides the students with a further measure of confidence by simulating the testing environment.
Note: This two-day comprehensive review will be supplemented by online quizzes, assignments and guidance.

Application is handled separately by the applicant directly with NFPA. Testing fees are included in the cost of the application, and are not a separate fee, but you must schedule directly with the Prometric Testing Centers once you have your confirmation to test from NFPA. Instructions for testing center registration will be provided with the confirmation to test from NFPA.
