Information on traineeships, training contracts and qualification requirements is available separately under Becoming a solicitor.

The PPC is delivered through three pathways, allowing trainees to choose the option that best suits their professional commitments, learning preferences and personal circumstances.

Each pathway delivers the same core curriculum, assessment and qualification outcome. The difference between the courses lies in how the course is structured, paced and delivered. Whether trainees are seeking a full-time immersive experience, a flexible route alongside work commitments or a modular approach completed over time, the PPC offers multiple pathways designed to support different routes into professional practice.
