Level 4 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice
Government Funded Route
The government funded Conveyancing Technician Apprenticeship allows you to gain your Level 4 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice without the private costs and within the same timeframe as the private route.
Private Route
The private Level 4 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice is funded by yourself, usually costing around £2,300-£4,000 depending on the training provider your choose.
Finding The Best Route For You
There are two ways to train for the Level 4 Conveyancing qualification: the government-funded apprenticeship route, or the private route where you pay for the course yourself. Both lead to the same qualification, but they suit different situations depending on whether you have an employer behind you and how you want to fund your training. Here is how the two compare.
The apprenticeship route, where the cost of training is covered by the apprenticeship levy, so eligible employers pay no course fees and the apprentice earns a salary while they qualify.How it compares:
Unlike the private route, you train on the job in a law firm and study alongside real conveyancing work, rather than funding the course yourself and studying separately.
Ideal if you want to:
- Earn a salary while you train towards the qualification
- Have your training funded through the apprenticeship levy
- Gain hands-on experience in a firm from the start
- Qualify without taking on course fees yourself
The self-funded route, where you pay for the Level 4 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice directly and study without an employer or an apprenticeship contract.
How it compares:
Unlike the apprenticeship route, you fund the course yourself and study at your own pace, which gives you more flexibility but means the fees come out of your own pocket.
Ideal if you want to:
- Study without needing an employer to take you on
- Work through the diploma at your own pace
- Train while in a role that will not support an apprenticeship
- Keep full control over how and when you study
