Provisional Accreditation Licence
A provisional accreditation licence is issued to institutions in substantial compliance with CLET standards, valid for two years pending full compliance.
Provisional Licence
A provisional accreditation licence is issued where the Council is satisfied that an institution is in substantial compliance with accreditation standards and is suitable and competent to offer or provide Law Practice Training — but has not yet achieved full compliance.
The provisional licence provides a two-year window within which the institution must achieve full compliance and apply for a full accreditation licence.
Conditions for Issue
Licence Contents
Moving to Full Accreditation
An institution with a provisional licence must apply for full accreditation within the timeframes set by Act 1170.
Application Window
An institution issued a provisional licence must apply for full accreditation not earlier than one year and not later than two years after the issuance of the provisional licence.
Full Compliance Plan
The provisional licence requires the institution to present a plan for achieving full compliance. This plan governs the transition period and is reviewed by CLET.
Risk of Revocation
Failure to obtain a full accreditation licence within four years of the grant of a provisional accreditation licence is grounds for revocation of the accreditation licence.
