  There are no examinations for the Legal Secretaries Diploma course. You are assessed by way of multiple-choice achievement tests and practical assessments.
  You are required to complete a multiple-choice achievement test after each unit to show your understanding of law. This is done online through the Student area of our website rather than in class. Through blended learning, you will be studying the course material supporting the classes and completing the tests in your own time.
  Units 3, 4, 5 & 6 include practical assessments which involve the production of a variety of legal forms and documents commonly found in legal practice. This will be done on your computer at home as there is no use of computers in class. Full instructions and examples are provided in the course material to enable you to complete the coursework. Through completing the assessments, you will advance your word processing skills and show how well you are able to follow instructions. You are required to print your coursework and create a portfolio of your assessments which must be sent to our Course Assessor when you have completed the course.
  Your portfolio will be marked and sent back to you within 21 days with your results. If you have passed the course, you will be awarded ILSPA's Legal Secretaries Diploma Certificate. Our pass rate is very high and 95% of Students who complete their coursework achieve the qualification.
  Results are graded Pass, Merit or Distinction - depending on the standard of your coursework. If you fail any part of the course, you will have the opportunity to redo it.

  My studies with ILSPA helped an awful lot, more than anything, and I am so glad I did it. The lectures and course work are very in-depth. My legal knowledge expanded hugely after my studies; I still refer back to my course work now and remember stuff I was taught by the wonderful Amanda. My confidence also improved, which helped me to start my career within a city firm, and the wonderful portfolio of all your hard work is great for interviews; rather than saying what you can do, you can actually show what you have done. It's recognised by many city firms; I would recommend it to anyone. Georgie Theobald, London
