Universities

If you are an undergraduate from one of the participating universities and want to register for the Joint Diploma Programme, please pick up a registration form from your university, complete and sign it and send to NPC by email. The registration process also requires you to pay the one off fee of £220* which covers 2, 3 or 4 years’ membership of NALP (dependent on which year you register). You can find out the benefits of NALP membership here: membership benefits and to pay your fee please email us at info@nationalparalegalcollege.co.uk. The benefit of registering is that you will gain an extra Diploma on graduation. The Diploma itself does not mean that you are a ‘Licensed Paralegal’, but it does mean that you have a Paralegal Diploma which indicates to any prospective employer that you are ready and able to work as a paralegal. If you wish to gain a NALP Licence to Practise, then you need to apply to NALP for this separately, but this requires a minimum of 3 years’ relevant legal experience in the areas in which you wish to practise, and requires you to have Professional Indemnity Insurance.
