PACE

This is a full-time program that requires you to devote 30-35 hours per week during the coursework. 

If you're looking for the quickest path to admission, this program is perfect for you. However, we recommend against it for students who are working full-time.

STRUCTURE

The Practical Legal Training program is undertaken in three components:

1. Coursework
2. Work Experience

3. Continuing Professional Education

Complete all three components to receive your Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice and be admitted as an Australian lawyer.

Entry Requirements

To enrol in this program you will need to:
