Online Training - Legal Secretary and Paralegal Courses
 Welcome to the easiest way to become a Legal
Secretary. From the comfort and safety of your
own computer, simply log onto our online
training classes from anywhere and you could end
up working within a prestigious and well paid
office of a UK Law Firm, or wherever English Law
is practised, as in some countries of the
Commonwealth.
The courses are taught by Wendy Souter, the
creator and founder of the Legal Secretary
course in London now in its 19th year. These
courses focus on Conveyancing and Litigation for those who wish
to work in the UK. The courses are tailor-made
to give all the benefits, without stress or you
having to give up valuable nights or weekends
attending outside classrooms. Study in comfort
and save money.
 Quality Education: We ensure that our
Legal Secretary Certificate courses are as
comprehensive as possible to give you the best
entry into the legal world. So many of our past
students have gone onto higher education for law
degrees, paralegals or have even taken their
Certificate abroad where they have found
employment and been very highly commended.
Quality Experience: Coming from a legal
background, where Wendy Souter worked for many
years, she noticed the severe lack of training
courses allowing ordinary secretaries to qualify
and work as Legal Secretaries. In 1988 she
decided to set up her own training company and
devised the now very popular Legal Secretary
Course in London. After 12 years of hard work to
bring her company and courses the good
reputation they enjoy today, Wendy decided to
sell the company in 2000 to embark on setting up
the Online Training Company which many
students have come to benefit from.
Online Courses: The courses cover the English Legal System and are eligible for use wherever English Law is practised.
The courses are:
- Conveyancing (Freehold & Leasehold) - 5 weeks

This course is suitable for men and women
wanting to enter the legal world as Certified
Legal Assistants. Paralegals are being relied
upon to fulfil many roles within Law Firms and
commercial companies. Their duties may involve
them working in Conveyancing, Litigation,
Company and Commercial. A paralegal salary can
range from £16,000 to £25,000 a year depending
on level of expertise and experience.
A "Paralegal" is a legal personnel who is not a
Legal Secretary, not a qualified Barrister,
Solicitor or Legal Executive. The Paralegal
Certificate can be obtained over shorter periods
of intensive training with us. Many students
view this qualification as an initial step into
the legal world. For the dedicated student,
further studies can be undertaken via the
Institute of Legal Executives, Law Society or
Bar Council.
Career Options: Working within the legal
profession can be a rewarding and satisfying
experience. Legal personnel are required within
the public sector such as in local authorities, the Courts system, Barristers' Chambers at the
Inns of Court, Law Firms, the Probation Service,
Crown Prosecution Service or in private law
firms, or the legal
departments of commercial companies such as
banks, insurance companies and estate agents.
