Conveyancing Exemptions

Become qualified faster

If you've already achieved a relevant qualification, the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) and Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) offer full or partial exemption for one or more units.

This means that if you're eligible, you may not need to study as many units as you think and you can be come qualified faster and save on costs!

To claim exemption, you'll need to provide evidence of prior achievement e.g. a copy of the qualification certificate and transcript. 

We recommend speaking to our friendly team to discuss your options.
