The paralegal apprenticeship is a two-year programme that gives you the chance to start your legal career without going to university. You’ll spend those two years specialising in one practice area, which we’ll align with your interests and strengths.
You’ll complete modules in Client Care, Contract Law and Commercial Practice, and at the end of your two years you will have achieved a Certificate of Higher Education in Law and Legal Practice.
When you’ve completed your paralegal apprenticeship, there will be a number of career progression opportunities available to you, including paralegal roles within our team, the solicitor apprenticeship and further CILEx studies.
