About This Diploma

The Advanced Legal Secretary Diploma takes the breadth of learning to another level by including all seven Irish Law Legal modules as core study subjects. We believe that many legal practices are seeking more flexibility from their support staff. This diploma means you are exceptionally well placed to be considered for positions that demand a flexible approach.

There is an extensive range of core subjects that include training in typing, Microsoft Word to expert level, Teams, and SharePoint. This is a challenging diploma that sets very high standards in the area of document layout, style, and presentation; therefore, you will need to demonstrate a high level of commitment and have a keen eye for detail.

There is no doubt that Legal Secretaries can earn good salaries and enjoy interesting careers. Choosing the right course from among the many Legal Secretary courses available is a key decision, which is where the highly respected Pitman Training name comes to your aid.
