About This Diploma

With this diploma, you will study the Pitman Training Introduction to Irish Law module to start, helping you become accustomed to the processes and terminology you will come across in this profession. You will also learn key administration and receptionist skills, as well as a range of business skills that are essential in the receptionist role. This programme offers a wide range of subjects that will provide you with a solid base of the administration and receptionist skills you will need to work as a professional Legal Receptionist.

There are seven core courses in this programme, including our Introduction to Law in Ireland, Microsoft Outlook, Teams, and more.
