Why join our combined apprenticeship programme?
Unlike fragmented training options, our programme offers a comprehensive, uninterrupted path through both the Level 4 Diploma in Probate Law and Practice and the Level 6 Diploma in Probate Law and Practice. This streamlined journey is designed to culminate in you becoming a fully qualified Licensed Probate Practitioner.
With this integrated course, you’ll benefit from:
+ No breaks in your learning
+ No need to reapply for courses
+ Only complete one end-point assessment instead of two (at the end of your level 6 studies)
Beyond the academic structure, undertaking this programme as an apprenticeship means your employer will allocate dedicated time for your studies within your working hours. Crucially, this advanced qualification comes at no cost to you!
What you need before you join
To get started on this combined apprenticeship programme, you’ll need to be:
+ 16 years of age or older
+ Not in full or part-time education
+ Currently living in England
+ Working in a legal environment and have your employer’s approval to start this apprenticeship
+ Motivated to commit to 4-5 years of studies
Should you find that committing to 4-5 years of study is too much, then you can also complete the level 4 and level 6 apprenticeships separately with our standalone programmes.

How to apply
To apply for this combined apprenticeship programme, you must be employed in a legal environment and have your employer’s permission to undertake this apprenticeship.
Provided you are working in a qualifying role, you should be eligible for the government’s apprenticeship funding for your course.
If you are already employed in an apprenticeship role, then please skip to the application form below, and our team will be able to help you with your next step.
However, if you are not yet in an eligible role, then in short, the process for applying to the apprenticeship is as follows:
1. Find an apprenticeship role
If you’re eager to start an apprenticeship in law or any other field, your top priority is finding one. Unlike traditional qualifications, apprenticeships involve on-the-job training, so you’ll need to search for the ideal opportunity, much like you would when looking for a job.
Note: If you need help finding an appropriate apprenticeship, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team – head to the bottom of this page to find out how to contact us.
2. Send in your application
You’ll find that the application process closely resembles applying for a job. Here are a few of the key considerations when completing this step:
- Make your CV and cover letter stand out and tailor them for each application
- Research the company’s history, values and recent events/performance
- Be professional throughout the process, just as you would on the job
- Don’t give up! The apprenticeship market is competitive, so don’t expect to be accepted at the first attempt. Keep trying!
3. Complete our application form below
Once your apprenticeship has been accepted, your employer will need to know who your chosen tuition provider will be. This is where we come in!
Simply complete the application form on this page to get started.
