CILEX Certificate in Legal Practice

The CILEX Certificate in Legal Practice is an introductory legal qualification designed for those entering the legal profession or working in junior roles who wish to develop specialist expertise. It is part of the CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) framework.

The certificate offers a flexible, low-cost route into law, allowing students to "earn while they learn" without needing a university degree.

  • Entry Requirements


    GCSE English grade C/4 or above. Good communication skills, both oral and written, are required. Current experience of working within a legal practice setting would be advantageous but is not necessary. This course provides you with the skills to enter the legal profession.

  • Course Content


    The Level 3 Certificate in Conveyancing and Probate covers generic areas of Legal Systems and Professional Legal Skills. After completion there is a choice to study either Conveyancing Practice or Wills and Probate Practice.

  • Progression Next Steps


    On completion of a CILEX Certificate in Legal Practice, you will be able to progress onto CPQ Foundation stage via a transition product. Your CILEX Certificate will entitle you to exemptions from two or more CPQ Foundation stage module exams, allowing you to embed your expertise and attain CILEX Paralegal status.
