Exemption from the CLC Examinations
Students who request exemption from the CLC Examinations and/or practical training must produce evidence to support the application as may be required. All exemptions are dealt with on an individual basis and students must to complete an exemption form and enclose documentary evidence. Failure to apply may result in delaying applications for course material, examinations or the right to document past conveyancing experience. |
Exemption from the CLC Practical Training Requirement
A student who satisfies the CLC that he or she has adequate experience in the provision of conveyancing services may, at the CLC's discretion, be exempt from the need to serve a part or the whole of the Practical Training.
However, exemption can only be requested from the whole of Practical Training where no further examinations are necessary. Where a student has previous experience prior to the date of registration and has further examinations to complete, he or she may be eligible to apply for part exemption, i.e. from the first year of practical training supported by the relevant signed Certificate of Practical Training for a period of one year or more.
The following equivalent qualifications are recognised as eligible for exemption from the CLC syllabus. They have been agreed after consultation with an external assessor by the CLC Education Committee and approved by the Council. |
