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.
References:
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. Where the current employment is not relevant to conveyancing, two current character references will suffice.

The Professional level is divided into two modules – Essentials and Options. Both modules have been set at an intellectual level equivalent to that expected of a student taking a Masters degree. The focus of the syllabus at this level is to build upon the technical skills already acquired, and explore more advanced professional skills, techniques, and values that are required and used by the expert accountant acting in an advisory or consultancy role at a senior level. All students must complete the three papers in the Essentials module. The Options module contains four papers. These are directly underpinned and supported by their equivalent within the Skills module in the Foundation level. These exams assess the more advanced and sophisticated techniques that a professional needs in order to specialise in specific areas at work, or to follow as a career pathway in an advisory or consultancy role. Students select two out of four Option papers and are advised to choose the options that relate to their chosen or anticipated field of work. 

English Language

We normally expect learners wishing to undertake course to have IELTS 5.5 or its equivalent. Additional language support is available for learners who feel they would benefit from extra tuition. Learners will be assessed by a qualified Language specialist in order to ensure that they are placed at the correct class level.
