Work Based Learning

To become a Chartered Legal Executive, you must demonstrate that you are ready, but completing a portfolio of log sheets and evidence which demonstrate that you meet a number of competencies, which are broken down into learning outcomes. This process is known as Work Based Learning portfolio (‘WBL’).

Your completed application and portfolio of evidence will be reviewed to determine whether you have demonstrated the necessary level of experience over an adequate period of time. Where necessary, further information may be requested from you in support of your application to CILEx Regulation.

For those individuals who have qualified through the Level 3, Level 6, GFTD route, it is also possible to apply for Fellowship and probate practice rights at the same time, which you can read in more detail about here.

Fees

The fees for the WBL portfolio assessment is set by CILEx Regulation, and details can be found here.
