The legal sector is evolving, and so are the skills employers expect from their support staff. Modern Legal Secretaries are now required to combine strong administrative abilities with solid legal skills and an awareness of the digital tools used in today’s offices. To help jobseekers and professionals develop these in-demand skills, we are running our next online Legal Secretaries Diploma course on Wednesday 28 January 2026.

Delivered one evening per week over twelve weeks, this flexible course provides Students with the essential knowledge and skills required to perform effectively in a law firm or legal department. It is ideal for anyone looking to start a career in the legal sector or enhance their existing skills to progress in the workplace.

ILSPA’s Diploma covers key areas of law and legal procedure, as well as the professional skills needed for daily legal office work. Students learn how to prepare legal documents, communicate with clients, and support lawyers efficiently.

What makes the upcoming intake especially relevant is the opportunity for students to learn about AI and how it supports the work of a Legal Secretary. This topic is covered in a self-study unit that accompanies the course, providing students with an understanding of how AI tools are shaping the modern legal environment.

For those seeking employment, the course offers clear career benefits. Legal Secretaries are in steady demand across law firms, in-house legal teams, and public sector organisations. Completing ILSPA’s Diploma signals to employers that a candidate is trained to current industry standards, with an appreciation of how technology and AI enhance efficiency, accuracy, and client service.
