Mariam asked:

Once completed can I take do the LLM - what other qualifications can I take- what am I able to do with a level 5?

Answer:

Hi. You cannot jump from level 5 to level 7 masters qualification. Level 5 is 120 credits and for bachelors degree top like LLB you would also need a level 4 diploma in law which together with level 5 will give 240 credits and this will allow you to do LLB topup degree with a UK University. There are lots of career options available post completion of level 5 diploma for example working in the legal services sector or a solicitors office in law administration or as a law secretary amongst other

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
