Frequently Asked Questions

 

My qualification is over 5 years old; do I need a Qualification Assessment?

Any applicant who relies on an academic or practical legal training qualification that is over five years old must be assessed by VLAB.

If your academic or practical legal training qualifications were completed more than five years ago, you will need to apply for an assessment of your qualifications.

You should set out the circumstances surrounding the delay in applying for admission.  You should provide details and evidence of further law related study and/or experience and attach a certified copy of your academic records (transcript or Academic Graduation Statement) and an up-to-date curriculum vitae.

You cannot proceed with your application until your qualifications have been assessed.

Qualification assessment applications can be made via the VLAB online application portal (External link)
