Single Subject Certificates

CILEx recognises that not every student of law or legal practice may wish to go on to become a Chartered Legal Executive lawyer or Fellow of the Institute.

The CILEx Level 6 Single Subject Certificate offers recognition of achievement to legal professionals working towards a specific area of Law or Practice. It enables students to achieve a recognised national qualification in an individual subject of law, legal practice or legal skill.

If you are not looking for a professional qualification, but wish to gain specialist, in-depth knowledge of a particular area or areas of law and legal practice, then these certificates are ideal for you.

Those achieving a single law or practice unit from the Level 6 qualification units will be awarded a Single Subject Certificate for that area. For example those achieving an CILEx Level 6 Single Subject Certificate in Employment law will receive the CILEx Level 6 Certificate in Law (Employment Law). 

If you are working towards becoming a Chartered Legal Executive lawyer and Fellow of CILEx, the Level 6 Single Subject Certificate is also a step on the road toward achieving the ILEX Level 6 Professional Higher Diploma in Law and Practice. Each single subject Certificate is carried forward towards that achievement .

The Single Subject certificate itself will not confer any of the benefits of membership of CILEx, but is a recognised stand-alone qualification.
