Do you want to work in law firm but without a law degree?
The Malaysian Academy of Legal Secretaries (MALS) has now worked together with the Human Resources Ministry to provide free training for fresh graduates, unemployed youth and retrenched workers to become legal secretaries for the law firms and banking institutions.
Not only the tution fees for the legal training course is FREE, Human Resources Ministry will further provide allowances ranging from RM500 to RM800 for participants.
Based on the reports on various newspaper, below are the brief summary about the course:
1. Name of the certificates: Sijil Litigasi Perbankan & Sijil Conveyancing Perbankan
2. Duration: 4 months
3. Commencement of Course: 15 June 2009
4. Location: Semua House in Kuala Lumpur
5. Age limit: 17 - 45 years old (but those who are above 45 years old and being retrenched can also apply for the course)
6. Qualification: minimum Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM)
7. Admission limitation: 200 participants for the 1st batch (however, they aim to produce 1,000 legal secretaries via their course by end of the year)
8. Topics to be covered: litigation, loan recovery and land ownership transfer
9. Contact: Mr.Mohan（012-3984444) or Cik Mariana（012-2995541) or register with the Human Resources Ministry (www.JobMalaysia.gov.my) or contact the academy via e-mail at mals.fzalegal@gmail.com.
MALS managing director, Fatimah Zainuddin said:
1. there are about 500 vacancies for legal secretaries in the Malaysia
2. the starting salary for legal secretaries is RM1,200 - RM1,500 and with good performance, the salary can raise to RM5,000 in 10 years time
3. MALS will try to help the particpants to secure jobs
eLawyer deems this is a good move and new development in the legal career in Malaysia. However, we doubt if the salary can raise up to RM5,000 within 10 years, in particular, for secretaries work in law firms.

anyone went for this course? Mind to share some information on what you learned?
Dukacita, 90% pelatih masih belum dapat kerja seperti yg dijanjikan walaupun hampir 4 bulan menamatkan kursus.. Tambah malang lagi SIJIL pun tk dapat menyukarkan lg pelatih utk mencari pekerjaan walaupun program ini menjanjikan jaminan pekerjaan.
