LEGAL AND SECRETARIAL COURSE DIPLOMAS

see our new website for more information in ILEX training Courses

Souters believes in providing students with a full range of choice in course selection.

Souters offers these courses in full time and part-time time slots that are convenient to students; more importantly, apart from fixed course dates indicated in our online schedule, assignments and some practical elements can be completed at a time that suits you and at home if wanted or at our fully IT equipped centre.

The City and Guilds ILEX qualification is recognised in the legal sector both in the UK and internationally.

We offer ILEX especially as from the level of legal secretary the student can progress through further training and job progression to becoming a solicitor. This process can take several years the student has the advantage of being employed throughout the period of study and gaining valuable on the job experience.

These courses are new for 2009 and we are introducing Level 2 immediately with Level 3 to follow in logical progression.

Employers who are prepared to support the student in ILEX training should note the cost of such training can be fully government funded.

In order to gain the City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate or Level 3 Diploma you are also required to take an external proof reading test in either February, May or November. This test can be taken either at your work under the supervision of your employer or at an external City & Guilds approved assessment centre. (e.g. Souters Centre)

The attainment of any of the qualifications follows satisfactory completion of the assignments, and, where relevant, the external proof reading test. However, if you complete the assignments but choose not to do the external test you would not be awarded your Certificate or Diploma but will receive units of credit from City & Guilds instead.

Your course will be valid for one year from the date of enrolment and you must complete the assignments for all of the units within this period. The whole process can be completed well within the one year allowed and in some cases in two to three months.
