How can we help you?

You can apply to study any of the programmes or modules at any time. 

The application process couldn't be simpler.  Just select the module (or package of modules) which you would like to study and proceed to our checkout process. 

Once your application has been received by us, we will provide you with a user name and password so you can access our virtual learning environment (VLE) to complete the induction module.

If you are a new student, you will be required to provide verified photographic identification as part of your application. This can be scanned and emailed to us within 14 days. 

If you have applied to study the Level 6 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice, you will have to demonstrate that you have met the entry requirements for the programme.  You will be required to provide a verified copy of your qualifications as part of your application. Again, this can be scanned and emailed to us within 14 days. 

As soon as we have received your application documents, you can then start your studies at a time and pace which best suits you.

To be eligible for the Level 6 Diploma you must have completed the Level 4 Diploma. 

You may apply for an exemption if you have a Law Degree or a Graduate Diploma in Law (GLD).

You may be entitled to exemptions for previous qualifications. Please check the CLC website, via the link below, to access the most up-to-date information on exemptions.

To claim an exemption you will need to provide us with proof of your previous qualifications which we will then process with SQA. 

You must provide both your qualification certificate and transcript before we can allow any exemptions. We are unable to accept one without the other. We may also ask that you provide a programme syllabus to support your request.equire a syllabus

There are no exemptions allowed for Understanding Accounting Procedures for Probate Transactions/Conveyancing Transactions at Level 4 or Level 6.

Module exemptions will only be considered at the application state and no retrospective exemptions will be granted once study has commenced.

If you are currently working in a CLC or SRA regulated practice, we can arrange for your exam to be taken at your place of work. You will need to arrange for a suitable office space and invigilator (CLC or SRA registered).

Alternatively, you can sit your exam online, using remote invigilation.

Certificates are issued by the awarding body SQA on completion of the full SQA Diploma. 

If you have purchased a single module, a module certificate will be sent to you on completion of that individual module. Certification for module certificates takes place twice per month.

The SQA Diploma certificate is only issued on completion of all the units within the Diploma.

Certification for candidates, who achieve the full CLC Diploma, takes place twice weekly.

Students can simply select the module or bundle of modules which you would like to pursue and proceed to our checkout process.

Pay by: Sponsoring organisation 

A third party (such as an employer) who is paying either all or part of your fees and agrees to be invoiced for fees should complete our Sponsorship Agreement Form. This must be done before the programme is commenced. You will receive notification by email confirming when your sponsorship agreement has been confirmed and you are able to log onto our virtual learning environment (VLE). 

Your sponsor must sign the sponsorship agreement form. You cannot sign it yourself.

Once a sponsorship agreement has been accepted by us, and your employer has been invoiced, your sponsoring organisation will have 30 days from the invoice date to pay the invoice, which will not affect your ability to commence your programme. 

We use the best security measures available to protect your information. 

We hate hidden fees!

Our programmes include all of the pricing information up front. 

You will not need to pay extra to get the certificates for your modules.
