Legal Secretary Courses

What does a Legal Secretary do...

A Legal Secretary will work in law offices, schools, hospitals, corporate settings, government agencies and medical offices. Legal Secretaries may work in real estate, family law, criminal and civil procedures, workers compensation and estate planning.

Skills Required for a Career as a Legal Secretary...

It is important for legal secretaries to work efficiently and accurately. As errors in legal documents can cause significant problems, it is vital that documents and transcripts are completed correctly. Legal secretaries must, therefore, be skilled typists. They should also be able to proofread their own work, in addition to the work of legal professionals, in order to identify any errors.

An aptitude for secretarial work is essential. This must include an ability to juggle several tasks at once and pay attention to subtle details without losing composure.

What do our students say...

“Rosie was unsure of what direction to take when she came to us.  On completing her diplomas she went to temp for Brook Street, and won an award for Temp of the Year.  She has had various temporary and contract roles, but now works as HR Assistant for Kent Probation Area.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and help whilst I completed my PA and Legal secretarial diplomas.  Without these qualifications I would not have been able to gain my past and my most recent role as Human Resources Assistant at Kent Probation Area.  The skills I have gained are invaluable and without the teams backing I would not have stayed motivated. Thank you so much for all you have done.”

I have found my time with Pitman Training to be excellent. The structure of the course and the ease of operation made my experience all the more enjoyable whilst still mainting mental stimulation. The staff here at Pitman Training have been amazing. They have always been easy to approach, friendly, welcoming from the moment I entered the building and endeavouring to help with any problems or technicalities I may have had.
