Consider applying for RPL with CLET to get a full understanding of what your options may be. There may be full RPL if you have experience across a wide range of legal areas, or there may be partial RPL with a study pathway if you have more targeted experience.
Regardless, apply today with CLET and the RPL Team will advise you on your options.
