Legal Secretary Course Testimonials

I had the most amazing time on the tour

I had the most amazing time on the tour! Amanda is so knowledgeable. It was clear how passionate Amanda is about Law and it definitely made the tour that much more interesting and enjoyable. Learning about the Barrister Chambers and the grand history of The Royal Courts was a real eye opener. I have recommended friends and family to visit the Courts and I will definitely be visiting again. I met a lovely group of ladies as well on the tour, and again would like to thank Amanda for making the tour an amazing experience!

It gave me the chance to practice drafting documents and become familiar with their format

I want to thank you for assessing my work and helping me to obtain my diploma. This course helped me see the differences and similarities between the law institutes from my country and the law institutes in the UK. It gave me the chance to practice drafting documents and become familiar with their format. My knowledge of law is wider now and I am sure that this diploma, along with my licence as a Law Graduate and my master degree in Criminal Law, will help me start my path in England as a legal secretary, and maybe one day as a solicitor. I am very happy with my decision to follow this course and I am grateful for my diploma, I have tried to give my best despite my busy schedule.

I wish I had done it sooner!

I have very much enjoyed this course and have found it to be a fantastic starting point for a career in the legal profession. I wish I had done it sooner! The course material was easy to read and work through, and the examples of different cases and scenarios helped to give a real insight into how and why the law works in different ways. I look forward to a successful career in law and hope to further my studies to degree level.

I am surprised how much I have learned and how far I have come

I found the course easy to follow and understand, with help from my assessor. I am surprised how much I have learned and how far I have come from knowing only a little. This course has been helpful for me regarding kick-starting my career in becoming a Legal Secretary; I am more than happy that I chose to do this course.

The course was really useful and well structured

The course was really useful and well structured. I had a bit of knowledge of the theory, having already obtained a Law Degree in Italy, but the practical assessments are a godsend. I had a job interview in a Law Firm recently where I was asked to take a written test (writing letters to clients, preparing invoices etc) and the fact that I knew the correct format helped me to get the job! So thank you so much!

Every module had me engrossed

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and have learnt a huge amount! I can honestly say that at no stage was I bored; every module had me engrossed. Seamus was a fantastic tutor, so engaging, warm and friendly. Our class worked well as a team and all participated in group discussions. Having Maria on hand for any clarification has been a great support which is truly appreciated. Thank you to all at ILSPA, from the Court Tour guide with incredible knowledge and passion, right through to the lovely Megan who was able to answer several questions before I booked onto the course. This has been an extremely rewarding journey… thank you all!

Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone starting this course

Just wanted to send in some feedback following my recent tour of the Royal Courts of Justice and Legal London with Amanda Hamilton. I very much enjoyed the tour and Amanda was very knowledgeable about everything and answered all our questions. I enjoyed listening to the stories and anecdotes she shared with us, and I gained a practical further understanding of the court structure. I even sat in on a real criminal appeal case which was really cool! Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone starting this course.

I secured a position as Office Assistant in a firm of solicitors when I explained that I was studying the Diploma

Thank you for the course. I secured a position as Office Assistant in a firm of solicitors in February 2015 when I explained that I was studying the Diploma for Legal Secretaries and PAs. I have recently been promoted to Legal Secretary in Dispute Resolution, and work for the Managing Partner as well as providing secretarial support to the Senior Partner. The course has given me essential knowledge of the main areas of legal practice and what is expected of a Legal Secretary.
