CILEX Law School has been formally approved to deliver the new CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ).

The CPQ, open to those without a university qualification, will have three stages: Foundation (for the CILEX Paralegal); Advanced (CILEX Advanced Paralegal); and Professional (CILEX Lawyer with full practice rights).

Course fees will vary by stage, with all three stages costing £9,000.

Kim Morrison, CILEX Law School’s academic director, said the qualification would be ‘accessible, affordable and flexible, encompassing both legal knowledge and the skills, behaviours and commercial awareness needed by paralegals and modern lawyers’.

Enrolment will begin later this month. Find out more at www.cilex.org.uk.
