Part time legal courses

Scarlet 27

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some part time legal courses that might benefit my career. I already have a law degree, done a Legal practice and procedure course, have worked as a legal executive for 2.5 years and I am going into blackball in September.

I would really like to do some extra courses to improve my c.v. for when I qualify. I was thinking about doing the arbitration course in UCD but it is 5K and I am not sure if it would really benefit my career although the course itself looks very good.

If anyone has done any part time courses and has any recommendations on good ones or advise on ones that they didn't find helpful I would be really appreciate it.

Thanks for replying, had vaguely looked into some of them in particular certificate in criminal litigation practice and procedure but wasn't sure how much of those courses are covered by the PPC1 & PPC2 courses, I was under the impression that the were more of a refresher course with up to date law for people who had been qualified a while and they might be something worth doing after a qualify in 3 or 4 years to make sure I was totally up to date on things rather then an extra feather in my cap right now, but as I am unsure of how much detail they go into in blackhall and the amount of detail the course go into, (you dont happen to know?) will def be something I will look into, thanks for your help.

Youre right you will cover the material on PPC, they are a waste of money if youre going to be going into Blackhall soon, the arbitration course you mentioned is highly regarded and very practical in the realm of ADR.

thanks for that, had a feeling that might be the case, also considering the Step probate course although I think the arbitration course might be a bit more interest.
