College of Law

How does the College differ from other PLT courses? Just like the last metres of a marathon, PLT is the final run you need to become a practising lawyer. You know - the court-appearing, contract-preparing, lawtalking kind. In the final stretch, you need practical and flexible expertise. That’s where we come in. The College of Law’s PLT delivers real-world tasks from real-life lawyers, so you hit your career stride from day one. With rolling intakes every month, part- and full-time study options, and 100% online or blended learning, you can study when and where it suits you.

How is the course structured? Coursework To go from classroom to courtroom, you need to be able to apply the theory you learned at uni. PLT coursework involves a mix of compulsory subjects and 2 electives. In our PLT, there are no formal lectures, essay writing, or written exams. Instead, you will learn through real-life scenarios with lawyers by your side, so you become skilled in the key areas that practising lawyers experience day in, day out. Work Experience You need to undertake a set number of days of work experience to complete your PLT. Whatever your situation, the College has a work experience option that suits you. 1. *0 days work experience + 8-week online program 2. 25 days work experience + 5-week online program 3. 75 days work experience + no additional program If you choose to complete your PLT through The College of Law, you’ll have free access to a career coach. Your coach will work with you to develop a structured career plan. From exploring career avenues, to preparing for interviews, to crafting your LinkedIn profile, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge to excel. Continuing Professional Education will introduce you to the new skills law firms and recruiters are looking for in a modern lawyer. You will complete 10 online interactive modules that will teach you business and technological skills. Ground Floor, Durack Centre, 263 Adelaide Terrace, Perth WA 6000
