Qualification Rules
To achieve the Diploma you must successfully complete 10 units
from the suite of 19 units.
However, if you have completed the Level 3 Certificate in Law and
Practice whilst working towards the Diploma, you will have already
taken 5 units, so will only have a further 5 units to take in
accordance with the qualification rules.

Diploma must comply with the following rules:
1. You must take 7 mandatory units as
follows:
Unit 1 Introduction to Law and Practice
Unit 2 Contract Law
Unit 3 Criminal Law
Unit 4 Land Law
Unit 5 Law of Tort
Unit 16 Client Care Skills
Unit 17 Legal Research Skills
2. You must take 3 other units - at least 2 of
these units must be Practice units and the third unit can be either
a Law unit or a Practice unit. These units are chosen from the
suite of 19 units.
3. No Practice unit can be counted as
achievement towards the Diploma without the linked Law unit being taken also. The two
Practice units must be from different legal practice
areas.
