Introduction

The CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ) Graduate Route allows trainees with a qualifying law degree or a Graduate Diploma in Law to become a CILEX Specialist Lawyer through a streamlined training programme. The CPQ Graduate Route is designed to reflect the legal knowledge you have already acquired as part of your degree and to allow you to focus on your chosen area of practice. You will specialise from day one of your programme and can qualify as a CILEX Lawyer within as little as two years. The course is also designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to study through a blended delivery model consisting of face-to-face delivery and online learning. All trainees will be required to become members of CILEX and, as a law graduate, you'll join CILEX as a CILEX Paralegal and begin specialising immediately.

What do we study

Trainees will enter the programme at Advanced Stage and will complete a variety of modules including civil litigation and criminal practice, as well as conveyancing and wills & probate, with some additional material on legal accounts and legal technology. You will then select modules based on your chosen area of practice, for example, conveyancing, family law and wills& probate. You will also be required to complete two e-learning modules which focuses on professional ethics and responsibilities alongside completing a professional portfolio demonstrating specific work-based competencies.Upon completion of the Advanced Stage you will progress onto the Professional Stage where you will be required to complete a Professional Skills Portfolio alongside your chosen pathway module, based on your specialist area of practice, for example, civil litigation, residential conveyancing and commercial conveyancing. You will also be required to complete a further professional portfolio which consists of demonstrating higher-level work-based competencies.

How will I learn

We deliver the programme using a blended learning model to allow flexibility within your learning journey. You will learn through a variety of methods such as video lectures, in-person seminars, interactive workshops and skills-based tutorials. You will also receive a resources pack and extra support in the run up to assessments. You will be allocated a dedicated professional mentor who will support you through your study programme and provide guidance on developing your employability profile.

What's next

Graduates will be qualified CILEX Specialist Lawyers in their chosen legal area and receive all relevant practice rights. Graduates can choose to specialise in additional areas by completing additional modules.

What else do I need to know

Each learner will be assigned a personal tutor who will guide them through their study and will meet regularly to discuss progress and individual learner needs. We also have a careers adviser who can help with CV’s, job searches and interview techniques when it comes to applying for jobs in the legal sector. Trips to the law courts are also included for those who wish to see the law in action. Networking events are also arranged to help learners build links with people working in the profession.
