Can you work while completing Practical Legal Training (PLT)? Yes, but it’s important to consider your study load.

Finishing sooner with full time PLT is great, but it can have a higher weekly study commitment. So if you’re planning to work alongside PLT, part time study may be a better fit for you.

Not sure what option is right for you? Book a call with our Course Advisors before you enrol. They can talk you through our options and help you find the right fit. https://resource.leocussen.edu.au/4geo4eR
