The Legal Services is an important sector in the UK, contributing £32billion per year to the economy.  It offers employment at different levels and is part of every major industry in the country.  The sector has a highly skilled workforce that is essential to the country and continues to grow.

This T Level in Legal Services is a two-year, technical study programme, designed with employers to give you the skills required in industry.

This T- level will combine classroom theory, practical learning and a minimum 315 hours of industry placement with an employer to ensure a real-life work experience within a legal environment. You will develop knowledge and understanding across the Crime and Criminal Justice Sector as well as learning necessary occupational and core skills to enter employment within the legal services.

The T- Level qualification, equivalent to 3 A Levels, has been developed with the collaboration of businesses, employers, and expert practitioners to ensure a true reflection of professional industry practice. The purpose of the Level 3 qualification is to ensure that students have the knowledge and skills in order to progress into employment within the legal services or into higher-level apprenticeships or education.

The Legal Services T- level encompasses:

• Core knowledge and skills required for professional roles in industry
• Maths, English and Digital skills for professional roles
• Industry placement of at least 45 days

This is a two-year course which is split into two components, a Core Component, and an Occupational Specialism.

Core – This covers the legal services industry and related topics such as regulation, fundamentals of law, professional services, and the business environment.

Occupational Specialism – This focuses on crime, criminal justice, and social welfare.

The employer-set project ensures you have the opportunity to combine core knowledge and skills to develop a substantial piece of work in response to an employer set brief. 

You will be assessed via a variety of methods such as external exams, controlled assessments, an employer-led set project, and practical assignments.

This will generate an overall grade of pass (P), merit (M), distinction (D), or distinction Star (D*).

You will be awarded a nationally recognised certificate which will show a breakdown of what you have achieved.

You could progress onto a university-level study including Higher Technical Qualifications, a Higher Apprenticeship or degree or go straight into employment. 

Potential job roles after studying this course could include paralegal, legal secretary, apprenticeship, conveyancing technician and legal executive.
