You’ll need to provide proof of your exemptions so we can process these with SQA. It’s essential you provide both your certificate and a qualification transcript as evidence before we can start the process. We’re unable to accept one without the other.

There are no exemptions allowed for Understanding Accounting Procedures for Conveyancing Transactions at Level 4 or Level 6.

Exemptions do not apply for the Conveyancing: An Introduction for Property Professionals course.

You can see our more detailed guide to exemptions.

To find out how to obtain your licence you should contact the Council for Licenced Conveyancers.

The qualification is built on legislation that applies to England and Wales.

Other countries will have their own laws and conveyancing practices regarding land registry and property, so this qualification might not be relevant/applicable/recognised. You would need to investigate which conveyancing qualifications are recognised by the country in which you want to practice (if it’s outside England and Wales).

Licensed conveyancers are residential or commercial property law specialists (property lawyers) who work on behalf of clients buying or selling property (houses, flats, business premises or land) in England and Wales.

As a conveyancer, you’ll deal with all legal matters, administration, finance and queries involved in a property transaction, whether you work independently or through a law firm.

Once you’ve qualified as a licensed conveyancer you’ll hold a CLC 'first licence', which allows you to offer services through an employer.

There are no entry requirements for studying either Conveyancing: An Introduction for Property Professionals or at Level 4.

It’s not necessary for new learners to have any prior practical experience, knowledge, skills or understanding of conveyancing procedure and practice at this level; though Level 2 English and maths qualifications may be helpful. You’re not required to be employed in a legal services job to study any of our diplomas.

You must complete the Level 4 Diploma or have the appropriate exemptions, to study a Level 6 Diploma.

The Level 4 Diploma in Conveyancing Law and Practice is open access, so you don't need any prior qualifications to enrol.

To achieve the full Level 4 Diploma, you can choose to complete five units over two years, or take 12 months per unit to complete them one at a time.

If you’ve completed another law course you may be entitled to exemptions. To find out more, you can read about exemptions or contact our friendly Qualification Advisors.
