If you are working as a Legal Secretary or PA and would like to take a step up the career ladder, becoming a Paralegal can be a natural progression. Paralegals play an important part in the legal profession, helping Lawyers with cases, research and paperwork. While Lawyers are ultimately responsible for the work that is done, most Lawyers rely heavily on the services that Paralegals provide.

As a Legal Secretary or PA, you will already be accustomed to assisting lawyers with their work and you may already be performing some Paralegal duties. Therefore, if you would like to venture into a higher level role, all you need to do is undertake the right training in order to gain the legal knowledge and skills required for the job. We highly recommend the Level 4 Diploma in Paralegal Studies offered by the National Paralegal College. If you have gained ILSPA's Legal Secretaries Diploma, NPC will accept this for entry and they also offer a great discount to ILSPA graduates. 

Please contact NPC for more information.
