Law Apprenticeships Can Help Upskill Your In-House Legal Team

Here are some companies that have worked with Datalaw

What is the process?

Our law apprenticeships can all be completed via distance learning. All courses contain online modules including videos and workbooks. While taking the online modules our trainers will schedule monthly calls to collect and record a portfolio of workplace-based activity that would count as evidence towards your qualification. Once you have completed all the online modules you will have completed a full portfolio of workplace-based evidence and will progress towards an end-point assessment via a skype call where you will discuss your portfolio of evidence with an external assessor. After successful completion of this stage, you will be issued your qualifications via post.

Watch Online Videos

All of our knowledge content is provided via easy to watch online modules, accessible via desktop, tablet or mobile.

 

Online Knowledge Quizzes

Monthly Call With Trainer
