Legal English Online Certificate Course - LELC - Level 1 
  • Many law & business students aspire to work in international law firms or companies where a good grasp of written English is essential. Employees/students/business executives may be able to write but have problems connecting their words with the correct 'articles' such as 'a'/'an'/'the' and they also have never-ending issues with 'prepositions' such as 'on'/'in'/'to' or 'since'/'from' or 'to'.
  • This course is practical and designed to assist students with their written English skills. 
  • This course constitutes 6 hours of CPD.
  • We start by providing students with an overview of the correct use of articles and prepositions both in a general English and legal English context.
  • The course then moves on to provide students with an overview of the importance of correct punctuation; another key skill in drafting.
  • We introduce some legal terminology and emphasise the importance of its use. 
  • By the end of the course students will know how to draft simple letters in English.
