Courses for ILEX Level 6 law and practice units
This section covers the courses offered by ITC to prepare you for the exams and other assessments set by ILEX for the new Level 6 units in law and practice. The course fee is £475 for a law unit and £495 for a practice unit. ITC offers courses for all ILEX Level 6 units, including the professional skills units. If you are using these units to qualify as a legal executive please read the section on how to qualify as a legal executive for advice on which units to study before making your course selection. An application form for our courses is available at the foot of this page.
Course content
All courses are written to deliver the ILEX syllabus for each unit, and are re-published annually to ensure the content is up to date. The table of contents for each of our Level 6 course manuals is available on the page titled 'Course manuals for ILEX exams'.
Course design
You can enrol on any course at any time of year. Each course is valid for fifteen months and you need to complete all the course study exercises within this period. The course is designed to allow you the maximum flexibility to study at your pace, but with all the support and resources that you need to ensure you keep up your momentum.
Academic and administrative support
Most students choose to attend a Getting Started Day. This is a great opportunity to meet other students and an academic member of the ITC team. You will be introduced to the course and learn how to approach advanced legal study.
On-course support is available from our Academic Team by telephone during office hours, and our designated tutors on course Forums are on hand to help you with course queries. The Forums are hosted in our on-line Student Area which is the hub of your studies. You will be part of a ‘learning community’, so you will never feel isolated or that you are on your own.
Your course includes a face-to-face revision day, subject to payment of a £10 booking fee to secure your selected date and location. We run revision programmes in advance of each set of ILEX exam sittings, and you will be able to take up your revision day entitlement during any programme that falls within the fifteen-month period of validity of your course.
