Legal Secretaries Level 2 Certificate

Get the secretarial knowledge and skills you need so you can find work in a legal environment with this Level 2 qualification.

There are 3 core elements to the course:

• Administration (working in a legal environment)
• Legal word processing
• Audio transcription
• Proofreading

Assessment is by assignment and by time-controlled tests together with an externally examined proofreading exam. The time-controlled tests are the assessment methods for the word processing and audio transcription elements of the course. All candidates are expected to develop a comprehensive portfolio of accurate legal documentation from simulated coursebook material.

You gain a highly recognisable Level 2 qualification – the CILEX Certificate for Legal Secretaries.

Prior knowledge of a legal office would be an advantage, though this is not essential. A good level of English language skills, preferably with GCSE English at grade C or above, is required.

You could progress to a Level 3 course at the College - Administration (Business Professional) Level 3, for example. You could then follow this with Level 3 ILEX Legal Secretaries.
