Many students joining the Institute will already have studied Company Law and will be entitled to an exemption from this test. It is anticipated that such students should have attempted the Company Law Competence Test before presenting for the Professional Three examination. Students joining firms, exempt from all but one subject in Professional Two, may take this subject and Module 1 from Professional Three during the first year of study. It will be a matter for agreement between your training firm and yourself as to whether or not this phased approach is to be utilised. Please be sure to make a careful note of these dates.
Late entries can be very expensive.
The first issue should reach you within two months of the registration of your Training Contract. Details about this certificate are set out in your Record of Experience.

A leaflet is available from the Institute which will provide guidance to students seeking more detailed information about this area. The training method will be self-study based, using CD ROM materials which will contain all the study information required including mock examinations.
