I would not have been offered the job if I had not done the Legal Secretaries course

I am delighted to be able to inform the Institute that I have successfully applied for a legal position in the social housing sector, at an organisation in Clapham, as a Legal Administrator/Paralegal. I am due to commence at the end of February. I will be supporting the Head of Legal Services and two solicitors, and have been promised that the role will be varied and very interesting, with the opportunity to regularly attend Court. Not only is the job £4,000 more than what I am currently earning, it is also nearer to where I live. I know I would not have been offered the job if I had not done the Legal Secretaries course.

I have already gained employment within a local firm of Solicitors as a secretary

Well, let me start by saying that I have already gained employment within a local firm of Solicitors as a secretary and I believe it is with the help of my employers being aware of my interest in law and taking the option of enrolling myself on a course, that has helped me to obtain this position. I was very grateful for the help that was there on offer from the Institute.

I joined a firm of solicitors as a Legal Secretary

I joined a firm of solicitors as a Legal Secretary in November last year with extensive office experience but no legal background. I have found this course informative and practical to assist with day to day duties. I would also like to add that the Partner whom I work for is also very impressed with the quality of the course material.

My new skills are proving to be of great benefit for my employer

I have found the course to be professionally rewarding and since commencement and by putting knowledge into practice, I have been given more responsibility at work and have secured a performance related increase in salary. I am very pleased that my new skills are proving to be of great benefit for my employer.The course has also been personally rewarding as I have wished for some time to formalise my previous years of office based work experience and attain a universally recognised qualification.
