Ok so I have been researching the heck out of this, and ran across this course. Its 900 dollars, and self paced which is perfect for me. Any cons to it? I for sure can not afford the VMI course, as I am currently putting my husband through law school. The 900 will be a stretch! Im a super self motivated learn on my own kind of person. This uses the aalnc book, and seems credible. I work 50 hours a week as an ob gyn nurse right now, and do not have time to take off for a six day seminar, nor do I want to leave my 3 year old for that long!! So what do you think? Obviously with my hsuband going to be a lawyer (plus many of our friends already are, they are the ones who told me I should look into doing this!) I will have good contacts to start with.

Hi ObRhoda
I took the Canyon College Course. The only thing that bothered me was the typos in the exams...didn't look very professional!
I think you get out of a program what you are willing/able to put into it.
For reasons similar to yours, I couldn't do an internship or a seminar, etc, and the AALNC course didn't exist then.
I was happy with it. It increased my own personal view of my credibility.
Not sure it would ever "impress" any clients, but I think it shows initiative to educate oneself.

Best Regards
