For deadlines of when you need to apply for student enrolment, please see the table below.
Before you start the Legal Practice Course
Before you start your Legal Practice Course (LPC), you must
- enrol as a student with us, and
- obtain our written confirmation that you have completed the academic stage of training.
Until you have done both, you will not be able to start the LPC or enter into a training contract.
When to apply for student enrolment and completion of the academic stage of training
| Six months before LPC begins |
Deadline for receipt of completed application forms and fees from students who have character and suitability issues and plan to start the LPC after the September 2011 intake
N.B. Please note that if your application is received with less than 6 months before you commence the LPC, we cannot guarantee that your application will be processed in time to commence the course.
|
| Thirty days before LPC begins |
Deadline for receipt of completed application forms and fees from students who don't have character and suitability issues
See below for examples of when to apply:
If your course commences on 6 February 2012 your application must be received by 6 January 2012.
If your course commences on 2 July 2012 your application must be received by 1 June 2012
If your course commences on 3 September 2012 your application must be received by 3 August 2012.

Completion of the academic stage of training
Two months after LPC begins
|
Deadline for receipt of results for confirmation of the academic stage of training for a full or part time LPC.
|
| One month after LPC begins (for the accelerated course) |
Deadline for receipt of results for confirmation of the academic stage of training |
For applications received on time where there are character and suitability issues, they will usually take 6 months to process.
If we do not receive application forms on time as per the deadlines set out on the website (see above), then the application will not be considered/processed.
A completed application form consists of a fully completed form and the appropriate fee together with any supporting documentation. If we do not receive all of the above, by the appropriate deadline it will not be deemed a complete application and may not be processed in time to enable you to commence the course.
The consequences of submitting a late application are that student enrolment/certificate of completion of the academic stage will not be granted and students will not be entitled to commence the LPC. If students do start then this is at their own risk, as the provider will ask students to leave the course and their fee may be forfeited.
Please note we do not offer refunds of student enrolment fees.
