What is the cost?
Just £400 +VAT
The full cost of this qualification is the 5% contribution from your practice totalling £400+VAT. This is more cost effective than purchasing an NALP or CILEX diploma and membership, which if purchased separately would usually cost between £1,090 – £1,500 +VAT each.
How is it funded?
The ESFA have set aside government funding in the form of the apprenticeship levy to train professionals in work to increase talent acquisition and career progression.
This funding is available to all law firms in England and as a registered provider Datalaw can take advantage of this funding on your firm’s behalf to subsidise the cost of this qualification.
