Legal Secretary Course Testimonials

I was able to train as a Legal Assistant in a law firm

My personal experience of this course was brilliant, I loved being able to learn and study in my own time and I loved the flexibility that this course brings. When I first started this course, I didn't know much about law and during my studies (thanks to this course) I was able to train as a Legal Assistant in a law firm and have received an offer from a Russell Group University to study law next year! I enjoyed learning the fundamentals of a variety of different areas of law and I greatly appreciate the help and time given to me by my course assessors.

An exciting opportunity of which I am very grateful!

I would like to send a message of my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to participate on the ILSPA Diploma and say how delighted I am that I have passed with an overall score of 94%! Participating and learning more about various sections of the English Legal System has been very interesting and an exciting opportunity of which I am very grateful! The information learned throughout complements my university studies (English and Welsh LLB Hons) as although some information learned as part of the ILSPA Diploma course was similar to the university work, the opportunity to learn how to draft various documents was different and a new skill that I can develop and most certainly use going forward! My special thanks to Maria Richards for all her correspondence and time taken to mark my assessments and the very supportive and helpful feedback which can really help going forward as well!

The course has helped me a lot

I enjoyed this course, it has helped with my knowledge of law. Maria, my course tutor, has been amazing. She has always helped me where she can and always replies very quickly. I studied my LLB Law degree a few years ago and wanted a refresher course and was looking into becoming a legal secretary. The course has helped me a lot.

I wanted to emphasize how informative the tutor support team was throughout the course

I'd like to express my appreciation to everyone for their assistance and support. Without your help, I would never have gotten so far as I appear to have. I can and should admit that enrolling on the Legal Secretaries Diploma course was a smart move because it gave me extensive skills, the ability, professional knowledge and phenomenal confidence to work in the legal field. I wanted to emphasize how informative the tutor support team was throughout the course. I'm so proud, lucky and super thankful that I have met Amanda Hamilton through this course, as she is one of the top-qualified tutors and a very caring and amazing person in general. Maria has always been impressive and highly qualified, with super swift responses, and there is unquestionably a lot to develop out of this professionally designated route. I'm happy and I strongly suggest that students who are interested in the law take this course.

The course has enriched and expanded my understanding

I have very much enjoyed the course, both attending the online classes and working on my portfolio. I had been employed as an in-house Legal Secretary for just about a year when I started it, having had no background in the legal field previously. The course has enriched and expanded my understanding of many aspects of legal transactions and it has indeed boosted my confidence as a professional too!

This course gave me the confidence and knowledge to do a good job

This course was very helpful and helped me get a job as a junior Legal Secretary at a law firm. This course gave me the confidence and knowledge to do a good job and get me started in a career in law.

Seamus was a very good tutor

I have really enjoyed my course. Seamus was a very good tutor, he was very patient and I would always feel comfortable asking a question if I wasn't sure. Everyone who attended the course along with me was very nice too! Whenever I emailed the Institute, they would always come back to me very quickly and efficiently. I took part in the course because I already work at a law firm and wanted to gain further law experience, which I feel I have.

I have enjoyed the course very much

I was planning for years to enrol on this course. This was my present to myself. I wanted to learn about the English Legal System and if and after completing this course I find employment, that would be a bonus. Seamus, our teacher, was very good with his approachable and engaging manner and interesting stories. I have enjoyed the course very much.

ILSPA gave me the opportunity to start in the law industry

I discovered ILSPA while reading a job offer. I am French and moved to London. I wanted to change my career and I have always been interested in law, so ILSPA gave me the opportunity to start in the law industry. I really appreciated the course because it is well explained and motivates you to learn more. I am now looking for a Legal Secretary position and I would like to pursue my studies to be a qualified Paralegal. Thank you again for your support.

I like that the course offers help with CVs

I absolutely loved studying this Legal Secretary course. It is very well written, straightforward and beautifully explained. I found it a good price too. I enrolled for expanding my personal knowledge in law and practice. I like that the course offers help with CVs in order to find a Legal Secretary job. I am not a Legal Secretary at the moment but hoping to become one with the help of this course.

The employers were amazed by what the course included

I always wanted to have a career in law but knew I did not want to attend university. I had a full-time job unrelated to law and decided taking this course would help me stand out from others when applying for positions. I began working as a Legal Secretary 4 months ago. This diploma caught the attention of the Partners who interviewed me and most certainly helped me secure the position. The employers were amazed by what the course included.

This course has boosted my confidence

I applied for the Legal Secretary course to help me to pursue a future career as a Legal Secretary. I found all of the units of the course very interesting and really enjoyed learning how to draft various legal documents. This course has boosted my confidence in myself and my learning abilities - being able to see the results of the achievement tests straight away helped to keep me motivated. My course assessor Maria was very helpful with the couple of questions that I had during my studies and I would definitely recommend this course.

The resources available are amazing and so easy to navigate and understand

I have enjoyed the course and feel that it has taught me the skills that are required as a legal secretary. It has deepened my understanding of what would be asked of me in such a role. The course itself exceeded my expectations and I found that I learnt a lot more than I had anticipated. I like that it didn't just teach skills of a secretary but taught and laid out the foundations of law itself so that we can have more of an understanding of what we are doing - as opposed to just filling out some forms and getting on with it. The resources available are amazing and so easy to navigate and understand.

I had always wanted to get certified and it was my dream to complete this Diploma!

The course was absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed learning in my own time and at my own pace. I decided to do the course after the covid pandemic whilst being a full time Mum and preparing myself to go back to securing employment after a seven year gap. I had worked as an experienced (not yet qualified) Legal Secretary and I had always wanted to get certified and it was my dream to complete this Diploma! The course was laid out in a structured way and it was engaging throughout. I felt as though I got a great understanding of the key concepts of each unit and the assessments were a great selection. Thank you ILSPA for your unwavering support. I totally recommend this course!

I have learned a lot of vital practical skills

My experience with the course has been great and I have learned a lot of vital practical skills that were not taught at university. I took the course to gain employment in the legal sector and to also aid my law degree.

Maria (course tutor) was always at hand every time I had a question

Currently working as a medical secretary, I wanted an insight on how legal secretarial differs from my current role and I am pleasantly surprised of how interesting this field is. I have never studied online before and was a bit nervous, but because I had the willingness, I found it to be very interesting and Maria (course tutor) was always at hand every time I had a question, she was proactive in answering and guiding me. Definitely worth doing this course as I have a background knowledge of the legal world and because I found all the subjects interesting, I can pursue a career in this field in the near future.

My experience was exceptional

Adetutu Olufidipe, Milton Keynes, 25 June 2022

I would recommend this course to others

I had a very positive experience on the Legal Secretary course. The course materials were detailed and the example forms that were given helped me to gain a better understanding of what was expected for the assessments. Additionally, the Course Assessor, Maria, was very supportive and quick to offer guidance when I contacted her with any questions or needed clarification about the course, which helped me a lot. I would recommend this course to others.

Olivia Wimble, Kent, 25 May 2022

I am now ready to land a job in a law firm

For someone new to the UK, it was definitely a good decision for me to take up a Legal Secretary course at ILSPA. It has equipped me with knowledge about the different branches of law and paved the way to my interest in Wills and Probate. I opted for self-learning study which I initially thought would be difficult but as I went through each chapter, it gave me more excitement and eagerness to learn. The explanations in the course material are well-written and make it easier to understand. I believe I am now ready to land a job in a law firm.
