What our clients say...

Easy to fit the course in around work and no pressure when completing assignments. The benefits of the course are recognition from colleagues and clients. Lynnette Berridge, Paralegal, Hopkins Solicitors LLP

Completion of the Specialist Paralegal Qualification helped to confirm the skills I have learned already in the work place and also helped to extend my knowledge to ensure I am providing the best possible service to our clients. Gemma Harwood, Paralegal, Mogers Solicitors LLP

The course was excellent and assisted greatly with my career, which has subsequently enabled me to obtain a training contract with Ingrams Solicitors and I qualify as a Solicitor in September 2014.  I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to pursue a future career in the legal profession. Kelly Guy, Trainee Solicitor, Ingrams Solicitors

I found the course very useful; it highlighted things and assisted me in the way I dealt with my daily work. I would highly recommend the course and the people at CLT.
