ILEX Legal Secretarial Certificate

Damar works in partnership with legal training specialist Professional and Vocational Law Training (PVLT) to offer the Institute of Legal Executives' Legal Secretarial qualifications. The ILEX Legal Secretarial Certificate (at levels 2 and 3) can be delivered either:

• As part of a legal secretarial apprenticeship; or
• As a standalone qualification

Where the ILEX qualifications are delivered as part of an apprenticeship, Government funding is often available to cover much if not all of the cost.

The qualifications are designed for people who work in the legal environment in secretarial and administrative roles. These jobs involve organising and supporting people and resources including fee earners in legal practice. There are a variety of jobs that our legal secretarial learners either do or are working towards including:

• Administrative assistant
• PA/Secretary
• Receptionist
• Administrator
• Typist

The qualifications can also be suitable for candidates working in organisations that work closely with the legal profession, such as claims management, debt and uninsured loss recovery.

The Level 2 qualification is the core qualification for would-be legal secretaries. It is perfect for candidates who can use a keyboard but do not have any secretarial training. The Level 3 qualification is the core qualification for people who already have secretarial training but want to move on in the legal world, perhaps as a junior fee earner.

In addition to regular workplace visits from their trainer, ILEX students should expect to study for about three hours per week.
