Level 4 Diploma - Conveyancing Technician

How long does it take to complete the L4 apprenticeship? 
The L4 apprenticeship is delivered over a minimum of 12 months and is usually completed on average in 12 - 16 months.

How is the learner assessed in the L4 apprenticeship?
Of the 5 modules, 4 are assessed by an open book summative assessment and the accounts module is completed under exam conditions via a document upload online. There is then an end-point assessment which is taken in the last 4 months of the course with a 2 hour online scenario based test and a portfolio of evidence along with a professional discussion based on the portfolio.

How are the courses delivered?
All resources can be found online via The Conveyancing Academy online learning platform. The course is delivered online through remote learning where the student will have constant access to all resources, assessment and learning support.

Do the students have access to tutor support?
Each student will have a personal 1-1 tutor who will introduce themselves, the course outline and how they will be assessed. All tutors are qualified conveyancers who will provide support and feedback throughout the course. Students will be entitled to 1 hour every 6 weeks of face to face support via Teams however tutors will provide support when necessary via email, phone or teams meetings.

How are students assessed?
All assessments are either open book or under exam conditions. Open book assessments will have a submission date where the learner will upload their work to the online learning platform ready for marking. Exam condition assessments will be done via Microsoft teams where the learner will complete their exam online and upload the answer once the time is up.

What are the costs of the apprenticeships?
The cost to the business is either 5% or 10% of the total course fee. For businesses with under 50 employees the fee is £450 and for businesses with over 50 employees the fee is £900. The government will fund the remaining course fee to a total of £9000.

Are there exemptions for learners with prior qualifications?
If a learner has completed any prior qualifications such as a Law degree, LLB or CILEX modules they will be exempt from certain modules. Once we have proof of these prior qualifications we can assess and inform which modules need to be completed in order to complete the course.

How much study time are the learners entitled to?
Learners are entitled to 20% off the job training time. This does not mean it is 1 day a week of studying during working hours. Any time where the learner is being supervised or in team meetings, training, seminars, workshops - all of this time counts towards their off the job training time.

If I don't want to take the Apprenticeship route or I only have a specific module to sit can I still study to be a conveyancer with the Conveyancing Academy?
The Academy also offers the Level 4 and Level 6 qualifications as stand-alone diplomas to be studied at your own pace. These modules are individually priced and companies are still able to take advantage of the deferred payment scheme. Please see the online prospectus for more information.
