At Leo Cussen, we know the final year of law can be a stressful time. That’s why we’ve made PLT enrolment quick and easy. And you don’t need to wait until you’ve finished uni to enrol.

Spots can fill quickly, so now’s a good time to get your PLT plans sorted and secure your place. https://resource.leocussen.edu.au/4h67spX

Can you work while completing Practical Legal Training (PLT)? Yes, but it’s important to consider your study load.

Finishing sooner with full time PLT is great, but it can have a higher weekly study commitment. So if you’re planning to work alongside PLT, part time study may be a better fit for you.

Not sure what option is right for you? Book a call with our Course Advisors before you enrol. They can talk you through our options and help you find the right fit. https://resource.leocussen.edu.au/4geo4eR
