Founder & Director Wendy Souter:
Coming from a legal background where Wendy Souter worked for many years in all aspects of law, she saw the need to create a facility allowing general secretaries to qualify and work as Legal Secretaries. So in 1988 she created the Legal Secretary Courses and set up her Legal Secretary Training College in London, making us one of the oldest corporate educational institutions in the UK.

Why Online Training College?
What most solicitors want to know is "can you do the job and do it well?" Legal work is highly specialised and requires expertise to work effectively within a legal environment. If you wish to qualify as a Legal Secretary, your typing skills are of the utmost importance. In general, good command of English grammar and spelling are equally important for everyone. OTC is a highly respected training college specialising in Paralegal & Legal Secretarial courses. As a learning institution, we ensure that we provide the highest quality courses to prepare our students for the job of Paralegals or Legal Secretaries.

"Since obtaining my diploma with OTC, this, with my work experience, has enabled me to become a Fellow of the Institute of Paralegals. I would thoroughly recommend the OTC training programme. The lectures are easy to understand, well presented and convenient. Anyone wishing to take the leap from Secretary to Fee Earner, this is definitely the route to take. I cannot thank all those involved with OTC enough for their help and enthusiasm."

"I was aware that there were jobs out there, I did not expect to get a job at such as good salary for my age and experience. Obviously this has a lot to do with your course. Quite a few interviewers said how impressed they were with the course, and having my stuff with me on a couple of interviews helped to show them what was being done. Once again, thank you for making the course so enjoyable and easy to learn."
