Just six legal jobs are closed off by law. The rest are open to anyone!
Our free Level 4 Diploma in Paralegal Studies teaches the law behind the work paralegals really do. Giving legal advice is not on the closed list. Nor is writing most documents. Nor is running a case file. So house sales, wills and court cases are the closed ones. Paralegals still work on all three every day, with a solicitor watching over them.
You will cover contracts, injury claims, crime, wills, court cases, family law and house sales. And none of it needs a law degree first.
Our free training is great because you can study in a way that suits you. For example:
Our free paralegal course follows the work a firm actually hands out, including:
Law firms do not start you on legal theory. On day one you get a house sale file, a will that needs checking and a claim form with a deadline. So this course teaches those things straight away. A degree builds up to them over three years.
Nothing formal needed to start. You will manage with:
Yes, you read that right! Our course certificates never expire. You can get your high-quality certificate now for just £5. A hard copy costs a little more.
Legal secretaries who type the documents and want to understand them get straight value here. Career changers use it to test whether law suits them before paying for anything. Some learners want a free Level 4 conveyancing course specifically and take the property modules first. And anybody applying to a firm walks into the interview knowing the vocabulary.
Paralegal is not a protected title. Nothing stops you using it. Reserved work like conveyancing and probate is done under a supervising solicitor. What this supports:
A regulated Level 4 diploma in conveyancing law and practice is a separate route with its own awarding body.
Our course covers English law in the order a firm uses it. You will study the legal system, contracts, injury claims and crime. Then wills, court cases, family law and house sales. So as your confidence grows, a file landing on your desk stops being a mystery.
