Legal Modules

For new entrants into the legal field who have experience as a Secretary or PA in another industry you may start with one or more of our legal modules directly.

If you have no secretarial background you may want to consider our Secretary/PA training (Click here) before embarking upon legal training.

Individual main modules can be completed in one week on a full time course or in three to five weeks of evenings or three to five Saturdays. Depending on your employer specialty one module can be adequate but many prefer to take two or more modules. .
