CILEx has developed an education and training scheme, which offers the opportunity of a career in law for anyone. The route for qualifying as a legal executive is the Membership Examination. All applicants wishing to qualify will complete a Certificate in Law and Practice, followed by a Diploma in Law and Practice. Each qualification takes one year and will consist of five subjects.

The value of the CILEx qualification is increasingly recognised. Recently retired Lord Chief Justice Lord Woolf (honorary Vice-President of CILEx) has stated that: "CILEx members have a significant job and an important role to play in respect of the civil justice system". This indicates that legal executives are coming to be regarded as the third arm of the legal profession with solicitors and barristers.
