Legal Secretary Course Testimonials

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.

It has been a fantastic journey

Taking this course was the best decision I could ever have made. Not only did it help me to secure a job as a Legal Assistant but learning the foundation of the UK's common law legal system gave me great understanding of how the laws and procedures function within the court system. It has been a fantastic journey and I will strongly recommend the course to anyone who is starting their journey or wants to advance their career as a Legal Secretary.

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.

I now understand how the law works

I am very proud that I took this course without any hesitations. Since the day I started the course, it challenged me to keep going and be able to gain more knowledge. I work as a Secretary and had no idea how the court system works. After completing the course, I now understand how the law works and how each area has different specialty.

I took this course to expand my basic understanding of being a Legal Secretary

I am currently a Legal Secretary in a law firm. I took this course to expand my basic understanding of being a Legal Secretary and also to learn about different types of law. This course has been really helpful in regards to my knowledge of law and legal procedures. It has helped me learn new things that I was not aware of before taking the course. Maria, my assessor, has been nothing but helpful through the duration of my course. ILSPA provides great CV help in respect of you applying for Legal Secretary jobs in the future. Overall, I would recommend this course to someone who hasn't worked in the legal field, or even someone who has experience, just like myself, who would like to gain a nationally known qualification and learn more about law. Thank you ILSPA for all your help!

Having a portfolio ready made to show during an interview is a bonus of completing the course

I took the ILSPA Legal Secretaries Diploma as an introduction to law before starting my Criminology Degree at the Open University. This diploma has given me an interesting introduction into the world of law, with a good, but not overwhelming, amount of detail about each area covered. The course was succinct and easy-to-follow. The contact I had with my tutor was helpful and timely. I did the fully online option which has set me up well ahead of distance learning at a higher level, helping me learn to motivate myself to study and set up a good routine, which will stand me in good stead for my degree. I'm confident that my legal secretaries Diploma with ILSPA was thorough and has given me a lot of confidence, if and when I would like to pursue a career in a law firm/legal sector. Having a portfolio ready made to show during an interview is a bonus of completing the course, and a great way to show knowledge of the forms and responsibilities you'd take on as a legal secretary.
