About the program

This two semester certificate program prepares you to work with judges, lawyers, paralegals and the public, providing pre-court, in-session and post-court support. In this role you will safeguard the functioning of the courtroom and by extension the judicial process.

Students in the Court Support Services program at Centennial College participate in court room simulations and mock trials, working with real court equipment, court forms and court procedures. You will gain the skills to professionally communicate with court staff, stakeholders and the judiciary; administer oaths; and maintain order and decorum in a court or tribunal.

  • prepare exhibits
  • distribute court dockets,
  • prepare court documents,
  • test audio and recording equipment
