The LPC Level 5 Advanced Diploma is designed for learners aiming to develop the practical and professional competencies essential for a successful career in law. This programme covers the breadth of legal practice while integrating specialist training in the procedural, ethical, and client-focused aspects of the profession.
You will begin with an introduction to legal practice, exploring the structure of the legal profession, ethical responsibilities, and the core skills solicitors need to perform effectively. From there, you will delve into civil litigation, learning pre-action protocols, court procedures, and alternative dispute resolution methods that promote efficient case resolution.
The criminal litigation modules focus on criminal procedure, trial advocacy, evidence, and post-trial processes including sentencing and appeals. In business law and practice, you will study company formation, management, commercial contracts, and intellectual property law with a focus on its application in the modern digital economy.
Property law and practice covers both residential and commercial conveyancing, landlord and tenant law, and real estate finance. The wills and administration of estates section provides in-depth training in will drafting, probate procedures, taxation, and contentious probate disputes.
Professional integrity is at the heart of the legal profession, and the module on professional conduct and regulation ensures you understand the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) rules, anti-money laundering requirements, and risk management protocols. You will also develop key skills in legal research and writing, producing high-quality legal documents, and engaging in mooting and mock trials.
The practical legal skills lectures give you hands-on training in client interviewing, negotiation, and document preparation — all vital competencies for day-to-day legal work. The course concludes with work-based learning and career development, guiding you through career planning, placement opportunities, and ongoing CPD requirements to maintain professional standards.
