Thames Valley Training & Development (TVT&D) has been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx) as one of the very few CILEx centres in the Thames Valley region.

TVT&D, a subsidiary company of Bucks New University in High Wycombe, was established in 2012 and provides professional training and development products and services to organisations and individuals through a cost-effective delivery model.

CILEx is the professional body representing 20,000 trainee and practising chartered legal executives and other legal practitioners. Its role is to enhance the reputation of chartered legal executive lawyers and it has provided flexible career opportunities in law for fifty years.

Gaining CILEx-accredited centre status in its first year is a great achievement for TVT&D, as David Podger, managing director, explained. “We are delighted with the accolade, particularly as this makes us one of just a handful of accredited centres in the Thames Valley.

“Our training provision for chartered legal executives and other practitioners has been recognised and our aim now is to fulfil the Thames Valley’s training needs right on its doorstep.”

Alison Hollyer, head of qualifications at CILEx, commented: “Accredited centres play an important role in helping CILEx learners achieve their developmental and career aims through the delivery of CILEx programmes of learning. TVT&D joins more than 70 accredited study centres which are quality assured to CILEx standards.”

TVT&D’s provision of CILEx training includes the Level 3 certificate in law and practice, designed to provide students with a short, rounded introduction to law and legal practice, which can formalise the skills and experience of paralegal and legal support role practitioners. TVT&D has also been accredited to deliver Level 4 apprenticeship knowledge and Level 6 qualifications, including the graduate fast-track diploma for those with a qualifying law degree.

The CILEx courses complement TVT&D’s broader portfolio of professional training in the areas of IT, business and management, sales and marketing, and accountancy, which can be delivered both in-house or at its premises at Bucks New University.
