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.
