Level 3 Paralegal Apprenticeships

The Level 3 Paralegal apprenticeship is a two year course and upon completion, candidates can then apply for the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship. This opportunity combines a hands-on approach with the academic knowledge required to be a successful Paralegal without the cost of a degree. One day each week is dedicated to off-the-job study with the four remaining days in the office or remote working. Attention to detail, communication skills and managing pressure in a busy environment are key attributes that are part of this role and others in the legal industry.

“Enrolling on the Solicitor Apprenticeship route with HF way back in 2019 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Since taking on this role, I’ve had constant opportunities to improve and challenge myself…I’d say the practical experience, skills and knowledge gained are something money can’t buy.”

Solicitor Apprentice

“I began assisting & then took on my own case load dealing with causation concerns. In 2021 I was nominated for “Young Fraud Investigator of the year”. Undertaking an apprenticeship has given me the opportunity to gain valuable experience from an early age and work towards my necessary professional qualification, all while being paid a wage.”
