Robert pursued his dream career with a CILEX qualification, going from working in McDonalds to qualifying as a lawyer!

Mikayla

Mikayla qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive with the support of her employer, Boys & Maughan.

I think the way the CILEX course mixes the learning and the experience at the same time is invaluable – you’re not just going to a university and then getting thrown into the midst of a complicated legal environment without really having any background, and it’s so flexible.

Mikayla Hamilton, CILEX learner

I wouldn’t have gotten my current job without my CILEx qualification and my Law Training Centre course. The tutors were exceptionally helpful and supportive both during and even after completion of the course.

Charlotte Farrant, CILEX learner

Law Training Centre helped me get on the course I needed very quickly and put everything in place for me so I could start with my studies as soon as possible.

Sophie Wallace, CILEX learner

The online resources, with tutorials and support at my fingertips, were invaluable. As a learner who needs to visualise something to understand it, I benefitted from the lecture slides and videos in particular.
