As the global communications industry grows, it is becoming increasingly more important for individuals to learn about and understand how the media affects our lives. Developed in partnership with Ofcom, the independent regulator for the UK communications industries, NOCN’s qualifications in Media Literacy have been developed to respond to this need. The qualifications introduce learners to the media and aim to provide them with a basic understanding which will allows them to actively engage with, question and interpret the information presented to them in many forms of media. They have also been designed specifically to support the development of learner’s skills and so provide an essential foundation for further learning.

This course will be offered on a full time for one academic year (as a extensive legal foundation course) or part time basis would normally complete in 2 - 2½ academic years. Upon completion of this course student will be eligible to take the Licensed conveyancers foundation and final examination.

Upon completion of this foundation and final course students who wish to qualify as a licensed conveyancers (Property Lawyer) must complete two years practical experience in  a bank, building societies, corporate bodies, solicitors practice, city council etc. A Licensed Conveyancers is a specialist property lawyer, someone who is trained and qualified in all aspects of the law dealing with property. Students can use this as a pathway to legal profession or higher education. On successful completion of the foundations and final students can apply to study HND/HNC in Business Law. Advise on opportunities on further studies will be provided during the course.

In establishing the CLC, the Administration of Justice Act 1985, lays upon it the duty: "to ensure that the standards of competence and professional conduct among persons who practice as Licensed conveyancers are sufficient to secure adequate protection for consumers and that the conveyancing services provided by such persons are provided both economically and efficiently. Upon completion of this course student would have completed the CLC academic stage and upon completion of 2 years of practical experience student will be eligible to hold the license of Conveyancers where they can see a rewarding  and locative career with a bank, building society, estate agents, solicitors or enter into the partnership with other licensed conveyancers as property lawyers.

About the CLC - The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) is the regulatory body for Licensed Conveyancers who are qualified specialist property lawyers. All Conveyancing - essentially the legal processes involved in transferring buildings and/or land from one owner to another and dealing with the financial transactions - was the sole responsibility of solicitors until 1987.

Under current legislation, it is now possible for other people to become Conveyancers, known as Licensed Conveyancers. Banks, lenders, property developers and solicitors employ Licensed Conveyancers. Many Licensed Conveyancers practise on their own or in partnership. Once the CLC examinations have been successfully completed and the practical training requirements undertaken, an applicant may apply for a licence which would permit them to offer conveyancing services as an employed person. Once they have held an employed license for a period of three years, they may then apply for a full licence, which would permit them to offer conveyancing services directly to the public as the sole principal, as a partner in a firm of Licensed Conveyancers or a director of a recognised body, i.e. limited company.

CLC course is a extensive course. The foundation is equivalent to Level 4 and the finals are equivalent to level 5 & 6 honours degree level.

Students are advised to contact college well in advance of the date they wish to commence the course, since the course is often offered subject to registration by a minimum number of students.

Entry Requirement:

  • Any person wishing to register as a student of the CLC should have passes in at least 4 approved subjects in the GCE or GCSE examinations including either English Language, English Literature or English, passes at Grade A, B or C (or equivalent level 2 B-Tec or overseas qualification)
  • Persons over the age of 25 who cannot meet the basic education requirements may make application which will be considered on their merits.
  • An applicant who cannot satisfy the minimum standard of education, but is currently working in the office of a Licensed Conveyancers or a Solicitor and has attained the age of 18 years may be accepted as a practising student.

All students are required to obtain two current character references and verification of their present conveyancing employment - to be sent to CLC with the Student Registration Application.
