Overview of Course

This programme has been designed for those people already working in the legal and related sectors who wish to upskill and enhance their knowledge in order to progress in their careers.

It will also appeal to employees and people in non legal roles looking to pursue a career in a paralegal role without necessarily wishing to qualify as a solicitor or barrister. It will provide such people with the underpinning legal knowledge and skills, combined with work based learning opportunities to develop the competence and professionalism to work in a variety of different legal contexts.
