STARTING POINT- LPC/ BPTC GRADUATE

ILEX Exemption, Registration and one year’s Membership fee.

£620

Suggested, but not compulsory, training: ITC specialist courses. For example for recruits to insurance work or personal injury work.  Other courses in insolvency and debt recovery, and mortgage repossession.  From 2012, ITC will be running Business Development and Marketing courses.

For example, ITC Claimant or Defendant Personal Injury specialist courses (3 assignments, could be achieved comfortably in 6 months).  They are supported distance learning courses and attract up to 16 hours’ CPD points.

      £225

 

Under current rules, LPC/BPTC graduates would need five years’ qualifying employment.  For reference, the current annual Graduate Membership fee is £185, so you would start paying that from 2013 as the £620 covers the first year’s membership.
