All our CILEx units have a 15-month access period, which makes available materials and support for up to two possible exam sittings. In the highly unlikely event that you are unsuccessful on your first attempt, you can simply re-register with CILEx to sit the exam at the next sitting. CILEx do not place a limit on the number of times you can sit an exam.
Whilst not needed, we advise that all students have a minimum GCSE or equivalent qualification in English and Maths. If you are unsure, please contact us and we will be happy to provide further guidance.
For many of our CILEx courses, you do not need to have any prior legal qualifications or practical legal experience.
Upon course expiry (15 months from enrolling), you will no longer have access to the learning materials and support in the Learner Area for that unit.
However, you will still be able to enter CILEx exams. For Professional Skills you will be able to enter those units, provided your LTC tutor gave you a provisional pass for the work you submitted to LTC. If you need more than 15 months, you can renew your course at a heavily discounted rate.
