Frequently asked questions

What is Practical Legal Training (PLT)?
PLT is the mandatory final step between your law degree and becoming a lawyer. Our course provides the specific practical training required by the Legal Practice Board to admit you to the Supreme Court. It focuses on real-world skills like civil litigation, commercial practice, and ethics.
How long does the course take?
The program is designed to be completed in 6 months. This timeline allows you to comfortably manage the coursework alongside full-time work or your work experience placement without burning out.
Is the course 100% online?
Yes. We do not require you to attend campus for workshops or seminars. All learning materials, assessments, and mentor support are accessible online, giving you the freedom to study from anywhere.
Do law firms pay for your PLT?
It depends. Top-tier firms usually pay PLT fees for graduates in their official programs. However, if you are working for a boutique firm or are yet to secure a role, you generally have to pay yourself. If your employer isn't paying, we offer flexible payment plans to make the course affordable for you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We understand that tuition costs can be a barrier to entry. We offer flexible payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of your tuition. Please contact our enrolment team for the current options available.
What qualification do I receive?
You will receive a Certificate of Completion for Practical Legal Training. This is the official document required by the Legal Practice Board to verify that you have met the competency standards for admission to the legal profession.
How does the Work Experience component work?
To be admitted, you generally need to complete 75 days of supervised legal work experience. This can be done during or after your 6-month course. If you have previous experience (e.g., as a paralegal), you may be able to claim credit for those days to reduce this requirement.
