Graduate Fast-track Diploma (Level 6 Diploma in Legal
Practice)
The CILEx Graduate Fast-track Diploma (Level 6
Diploma in Legal Practice) is for law and Graduate Diploma in
Law (GDL) graduates who want to qualify as lawyers without
undertaking the more traditional and costlier Legal Practice Course
(LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) routes.
There is also no requirement to secure a training
contract or pupillage when taking the CILEx route to qualification.
Instead of qualifying as a solicitor or barrister, graduates
qualify and practise as Chartered Legal Executive lawyers.
Increasingly on a level playing field with
solicitors, Chartered Legal Executive lawyers can now become
judges, coroners, advocates and partners in law firms.
On successfully completing the Graduate
Fast-track Diploma (Level 6 Diploma in Legal Practice) you can
upgrade from CILEx Associate Member to CILEx Graduate Member.
Courses can be studied full time, part time
or via distance learning, leaving you free to work in legal
practice and gain the necessary qualifying employment to becoming a
Chartered Legal Executive lawyer and a CILEx Fellow.
The Graduate Fast-track Diploma (Level 6 Diploma in Legal
Practice) is open to those who have achieved their
law degree or GDL.
