Before you can start the program, there are a few important requirements to check off, especially if you’re thinking about beginning your PLT early. Here’s what you need:
You’ll need to complete your law degree before starting your Practical Legal Training in the Australian Capital Territory unless there are exceptional circumstances. For more information, contact the Legal Practitioners Admission Board ACT at (02) 6207 1219.
Looking to enrol? With over 200 programs offered year-round, you’re likely to find something that suits you. Once you’ve chosen your course, here’s what to do:
Click the ‘Enrol’ button to fill out the online application. It’s quick—usually under 15 minutes. Just make sure to submit it at least a week before your course starts. If you need to, you can save your progress and come back later.
To finish your enrolment, we’ll need:
Upload an unofficial (or official) transcript showing your name, university, and when you completed your law degree—this is usually available in your student portal. We’ll ask for your official transcript before you finish PLT.
Have a clear photo of your face ready to upload. No need for a formal passport photo—just something clear and easy to recognise.
Have your USI ready. If you don’t have one yet, you can easily get it on the Australian Government’s website.
Next, decide how you want to pay—either with FEE-HELP or upfront, whichever works for you.
Once your application is processed, we’ll send you an email confirming your enrollment. After that, you're officially enrolled and we're excited to welcome you!
You will complete seven subjects as part of your PLT coursework: five compulsory and two electives. They may look similar to the subjects in your law degree, but they focus on the practice of law rather than substantive law.
You’ll work through one subject at a time. Most of your coursework is online, with set deadlines and milestones, but you have the flexibility to fit the work into your schedule. The only time you'll need to join live sessions is for the workshops, which you'll attend online or on campus.
Practice legal skills like interviews and courtroom appearances in hands-on workshops, guided by experienced professionals—whether online or on campus.
Sharpen your skills by completing tasks that mirror real-world scenarios. You’ll gain the practical expertise you need to prepare you for practice.
In these regular sessions, you can chat with your peers, ask your instructor questions and receive helpful feedback.
You can relax – it’s not an exam. You’ll complete short quizzes at the end of each subject to help you gauge your grip on the course material.
After finishing your tasks in each subject, you’ll review your tasks with a lawyer who will act as your supervisor. Together, you'll go over your conclusions and reasoning, helping you feel confident and ready for real-world practice.
Work experience is your chance to apply what you’ve learned in real legal settings. You’ll choose between two options—15 days or 75 days—and our careers advisors will help you find a placement that fits your goals.
You’ll choose between two work experience options when you enrol in PLT, but don’t worry—you can switch options anytime during the course if your plans change.
You have a huge range of opportunities that may count towards your Work Experience component. Examples include:
You'll need to do at least 15 days of work experience in Australia after you start your PLT, working at least 2 days per week.
The rest of your work experience can be done anytime—up to 2 years before you begin your PLT, during the program or after it.
To make sure your work experience counts, it must meet these rules:
As the legal landscape changes, being a successful lawyer means having more than just legal knowledge. The Continuing Professional Education component is designed to give you the skills that law firms and recruiters are looking for—all online, at your own pace, anytime during the course.
Learn to create a legal bot using Josef, a leading legal tech platform, and gain practical experience in automating legal tasks.
Develop key business and tech skills through five interactive modules, preparing you to excel in the evolving world of legal practice.
We offer a few different ways to pay for your Practical Legal Training, so you can choose the one that works best for you:
Want to study now and pay later?
FEE-HELP (a student loan provided by the Federal Government) is available for eligible students. You can use FEE-HELP to pay all or part of your tuition fees.
While FEE-HELP doesn’t cover things like accommodation or textbooks, it can make paying for your course more manageable by letting you repay the cost through the tax system once you start working.
To be eligible for FEE-HELP, you must be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent humanitarian visa, and you need to complete at least part of your PLT in Australia. You can apply for a FEE-HELP loan when you fill out your online enrolment form.
If you’re not using FEE-HELP, you’ll need to pay the full course fee upfront when you enrol. Payments can be made via credit card or direct deposit.

Bank Name: National Australia Bank

We understand that finances can be a barrier, so we offer support through bursaries and the Kay Smith Scholarship.
Available to Australian citizens or permanent residents facing financial hardship. If you’re eligible for FEE-HELP, it might be harder to qualify, but you can still apply if you meet the criteria.
This bursary provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
This scholarship supports outstanding law graduates and young lawyers who need financial help.
If you need to withdraw, just let us know in writing by the census date—that’s the last day you can withdraw without any financial penalty.
After the census date, refunds aren’t available unless there are exceptional circumstances, which we’ll consider on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re using FEE-HELP, you can withdraw before the census date without incurring a debt. After that, you’ll be responsible for repaying the fees through the tax system.
For more details on withdrawals and refunds, especially for FEE-HELP, check out the StudyAssist website. You can also find our Refund Policy and Complaints and Disputes Policy in our Policy Index.
If you are an international student, there may be extra rules that apply to you. The program manual provides further details, including additional circumstances where you can apply for a refund.

To start your PLT while still at university, you’ll need to complete the online enrolment form for Practical Legal Training. Once submitted, the College will send a conditional offer of enrolment to both you and the Queensland Law Society. From there, you’ll need to contact the Queensland Law Society to finalise the process.

Before you can start the program, there are a few important requirements to check off, especially if you’re thinking about beginning your PLT early. Here’s what you need:
Usually, Practical Legal Training (PLT) happens after you've wrapped up your academic studies. However, you can start earlier if you've completed all the Priestley 11 core subjects and have no more than two electives left in your degree. Here’s what you’ll need:
Looking to enrol? With over 200 programs offered year-round, you’re likely to find something that suits you. Once you’ve chosen your course, here’s what to do:
Click the ‘Enrol’ button to fill out the online application. It’s quick—usually under 15 minutes. Just make sure to submit it at least a week before your program starts. If you need to, you can save your progress and come back later.
To finish your enrolment, we’ll need:
Upload an unofficial (or official) transcript that shows your name, university, and when you completed your law degree—this is usually available in your student portal.
If you can't get that, a screenshot from your student portal showing your name, university, and enrolment in a law degree or double degree works too. You have until the PLT course census date to provide the unofficial or official transcript.
We’ll need your official transcript before you finish PLT.
Have a clear photo of your face ready to upload. No need for a formal passport photo—just something clear and easy to recognise.
Have your USI ready. If you don’t have one yet, you can easily get it on the Australian Government’s website.
Next, decide how you want to pay—either with FEE-HELP or upfront, whichever works for you.
Once your application is processed, we’ll send you an email confirming your enrollment. After that, you're officially enrolled and we're excited to welcome you!
You will complete seven subjects as part of your PLT coursework: five compulsory and two electives. They may look similar to the subjects in your law degree, but they focus on the practice of law rather than substantive law.
You’ll work through one subject at a time. Most of your coursework is online, with set deadlines and milestones, but you have the flexibility to fit the work into your schedule. The only time you'll need to join live sessions is for the workshops, which you'll attend online or on campus.
Practice legal skills like interviews and courtroom appearances in hands-on workshops, guided by experienced professionals—whether online or on campus.
Sharpen your skills by completing tasks that mirror real-world scenarios. You’ll gain the practical expertise you need to prepare you for practice.
In these regular sessions, you can chat with your peers, ask your instructor questions and receive helpful feedback.
You can relax – it’s not an exam. You’ll complete short quizzes at the end of each subject to help you gauge your grip on the course material.
After finishing your tasks in each subject, you’ll review your tasks with a lawyer who will act as your supervisor. Together, you'll go over your conclusions and reasoning, helping you feel confident and ready for real-world practice.
Work experience is your chance to apply what you’ve learned in real legal settings. You’ll choose between two options—15 days or 75 days—and our careers advisors will help you find a placement that fits your goals.
You’ll choose between two work experience options when you enrol in PLT, but don’t worry—you can switch options anytime during the course if your plans change.
You have a huge range of opportunities that may count towards your Work Experience component. Examples include:
You'll need to do at least 15 days of work experience in Australia after you start your PLT, working at least 2 days per week.
The rest of your work experience can be done anytime—up to 2 years before you begin your PLT, during the program or after it.
To make sure your work experience counts, it must meet these rules:
As the legal landscape changes, being a successful lawyer means having more than just legal knowledge. The Continuing Professional Education component is designed to give you the skills that law firms and recruiters are looking for—all online, at your own pace, anytime during the course.
Learn to create a legal bot using Josef, a leading legal tech platform, and gain practical experience in automating legal tasks.
Develop key business and tech skills through five interactive modules, preparing you to excel in the evolving world of legal practice.
We offer a few different ways to pay for your Practical Legal Training, so you can choose the one that works best for you:
Want to study now and pay later?
FEE-HELP (a student loan provided by the Federal Government) is available for eligible students. You can use FEE-HELP to pay all or part of your tuition fees.
While FEE-HELP doesn’t cover things like accommodation or textbooks, it can make paying for your course more manageable by letting you repay the cost through the tax system once you start working.
To be eligible for FEE-HELP, you must be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent humanitarian visa, and you need to complete at least part of your PLT in Australia. You can apply for a FEE-HELP loan when you fill out your online enrolment form.
If you’re not using FEE-HELP, you’ll need to pay the full course fee upfront when you enrol. Payments can be made via credit card or direct deposit.

We understand that finances can be a barrier, so we offer support through bursaries and the Kay Smith Scholarship.
Available to Australian citizens or permanent residents facing financial hardship. If you’re eligible for FEE-HELP, it might be harder to qualify, but you can still apply if you meet the criteria.
This bursary provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
This scholarship supports outstanding law graduates and young lawyers who need financial help.
If you need to withdraw, just let us know in writing by the census date—that’s the last day you can withdraw without any financial penalty.
After the census date, refunds aren’t available unless there are exceptional circumstances, which we’ll consider on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re using FEE-HELP, you can withdraw before the census date without incurring a debt. After that, you’ll be responsible for repaying the fees through the tax system.

This bursary provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
This scholarship supports outstanding law graduates and young lawyers who need financial help.
If you need to withdraw, just let us know in writing by the census date—that’s the last day you can withdraw without any financial penalty.
After the census date, refunds aren’t available unless there are exceptional circumstances, which we’ll consider on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re using FEE-HELP, you can withdraw before the census date without incurring a debt. After that, you’ll be responsible for repaying the fees through the tax system.
For more details on withdrawals and refunds, especially for FEE-HELP, check out the StudyAssist website. You can also find our Refund Policy and Complaints and Disputes Policy in our Policy Index.
If you are an international student, there may be extra rules that apply to you. The program manual provides further details, including additional circumstances where you can apply for a refund.

However, you still have the option to be admitted as a lawyer in any state, except for South Australia and Tasmania, as they have unique requirements.
For South Australia and Tasmania, there are special rules in place. Please reach out to our Customer Engagement Team for more details.

Here are the five steps to follow:
If you need to extend or obtain your student visa through the College of Law, you are required to complete our on-campus program in the Sydney CBD, NSW (CRICOS course code 069734C).

To keep your student visa, you’ll need to follow some rules, including attendance, progress, transfers, and assessments. It’s important to attend all your classes and meet the College’s academic standards. If these requirements aren’t met, your visa could be shortened or even cancelled.
Overseas students with an Australian law degree can undertake any of the PLT programs. Our online PLT programs don’t require any on campus attendance. You will only need to participate in live online workshops held between 9am to 5pm, in the local Australian time zone.
You can also complete any of our blended PLT programs. You will need to make sure that your travel documents allow you to study in Australia to attend the five days of onsite workshops.

I think my favourite thing about Practical Legal Training was how real it is. University is very textbook heavy. So finally, getting to that point where you're doing real stuff was exciting.
Chelsea Donoghue, PLT Graduate
The mentors were fantastic and having the opportunity to use the skills that I learnt through my degree and really apply them in a legal setting was fantastic.
Stella Richards, PLT Graduate
In university, I often felt like everything was textbook-based, and I had no idea what I was doing. Whereas PLT was more focused and practical, and I actually felt like I was getting a snippet into what practice was like.
