This Short Learning Programme prepares you for a career as a Paralegal. The programme will give you an understanding of the social, economic, and political framework in which our legal system operates.
You will gain an understanding of the different fields of law and how they affect our daily lives, and develop insight into human rights and how to advise others of their rights to ensure that disadvantaged people are not exploited. You’ll be able to identify and research legal issues, and learn how to operate effectively in the workplace using a number of Windows-based applications.
