Student Review:
Taking this course was the best decision I could ever have made. Not only did it help me to secure a job as a Legal Assistant but learning the foundation of the UK's common law legal system gave me great understanding of how the laws and procedures function within the court system. It has been a fantastic journey and I will strongly recommend the course to anyone who is starting their journey or wants to advance their career as a Legal Secretary. Anna Pietrzyk, Essex
