I studied the Paralegal qualification in Civil Litigation, to understand my current role. Your course was recommended by a reputable firm of Solicitors, so I had faith that this was the path course for me...

As a full time employee, I don’t have the luxury of time during the day for study, so this course was an ideal fit around my work and social engagements.
I appreciated that the course was marked by university professionals, as it felt like I was ‘really studying’. I use the skills I have learnt daily and It has also enabled me to be an expert in my field, giving advice to colleagues and managers equally.
I would not hesitate to recommend this course as it was recommended to me. I have also joined the Institute of Paralegals and as I have spent a long time in the litigation field, even though I do not report to a lawyer, I was awarded Fellow status, which I use proudly as part of my signature when I email clients.

I really enjoyed the fact that you were your own progress. I learn a lot better from myself, rather than being sat in a classroom being taught...

I could go at my own pace! I took my qualification out in September 2017 and had completed my final exam and had my results by August 2018. The turnaround was very quick and the fact I could sit my final exam at any time once I had completed the course was really great.
You have a tutor at the end of an email/phone to assist you whenever needed. I really enjoyed learning and the research I had to do myself. The assignments are tailored to what you will be doing in that job role/profession and the final exam, again you have all of your resources to put down onto paper.
I really enjoyed studying with CLT and how far I have come already. Thank you so much! I look forward to taking my next course out with you!
