Complete required PLT subjects without the full program

Your admitting authority assesses your qualifications and training for admission. If its assessment identifies additional Practical Legal Training requirements, you may only need to complete particular PLT subjects rather than a full PLT program.

Simply apply to IOLT and include the assessment letter or direction from your admitting authority. We will match the requirements to the relevant IOLT subjects and send you an offer confirming the subjects, fees and enrolment details.

Fees are in Australian dollars and apply per subject. Your admitting authority determines the requirements that apply to your individual admission pathway.
