This gives your employees the right qualifications whilst helping you to drive your business forward.

Learning and Qualifying with CILEX

At CILEX we understand that everyone has different work and life pressures and constraints. So we have developed our learning to be fully accessible allowing learners to access what they need, when they need it.

People can learn and qualify with CILEX in a variety of ways to suit the needs of your business or those of your staff. Apprenticeships, full or part time learning, evening classes at night-schools, local accredited centres e-learning are all available, allowing learners to fit their study around work, life and family commitments.

Our learning and support doesn’t end when learners qualify.  CILEX members have ongoing access to our competence based CPD and will be required to meet Continuing Professional Development standards to keep up their membership. Networking and development through CILEX local branches allows members access to knowledge and peer support and there is the opportunity within the branches to practise skills such as developing leadership capability. We support our members throughout their legal careers, whether they want to just stay up-to-date or develop or simply return after a period of absence.
