Aged Qualification Policy

Any legal qualification awarded more than 6 years ago on the date a licence application is submitted is considered aged and cannot be used to make a licence application. Candidates are advised to calculate the age of their Qualifications at their proposed licence application date, at the point of applying for exemptions.

This policy applies to legal qualifications being used to obtain exemption to a Level 6 Diploma.

Candidates with aged LPC, CLC, or CILEX or other Level 6 or above professional qualifications must pass the Level 6 Diploma (Conveyancing or Probate) without exemption to any unit.

This is to evidence that your academic knowledge is at the current CLC minimum for a first qualifying licence application.

For more information please refer to the Exemptions Guidance below.
