What this qualification is
The Level 3 + Level 4 Diploma in Law - 10 months is awarded by an Ofqual-regulated UK awarding organisation and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 3. The qualification totals 240 credits across structured mandatory units. Listed on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 10 months; accelerated completion in available on selected programmes is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £2,200. Assessment is through coursework and assignments — there is no requirement to attend a UK campus.
Designed for working professionals in the UK and overseas who need a regulated qualification recognised by employers. Progress to the next RQF level or a university top-up degree where eligible.
Global supply chains and cross-border mergers collapse when contract language is ambiguous, creating massive liability for firms that rely on administrative staff without formal legal training. This ten-month intensive delivers Level 3 and Level 4 credentials that transform you from a support role into a recognized legal professional capable of drafting binding agreements and interpreting statutory regulations for multinational entities.
You will independently draft and review commercial contracts to minimize organizational risk, ensuring compliance with international trade laws and local jurisdiction requirements. You will manage property disputes and advise senior stakeholders on civil and criminal law implications, giving you the authority to lead compliance audits and protect company assets in high-stakes negotiations. This qualification enables you to step into paralegal, contract administrator, or compliance officer roles where employers demand proven legal competency rather than just operational experience.
