We will not grant a certificate of completion on an application made later than seven years after 1 October in the year in which you satisfactorily completed a QLD, Diploma in Law or a CPE unless we are satisfied that:

special reasons exist for granting the certificate; and

(b)

you have complied with such requirements as to courses of study, written tests or otherwise as we may have imposed as a condition of granting the certificate.

4.3

Subject to regulation 4.2, if we are satisfied that you have satisfactorily completed a QLD, a Diploma in Law or a CPE, we will issue a certificate stating that you have completed the academic stage of training.

If we refuse your application for a certificate in respect of a degree or diploma, we may accept your degree or diploma as entitling you to take a CPE under regulations 6 and 8.
