Training

We take training seriously. We make it our priority to support lawyers in meeting the requirements of their professional bodies and in keeping up-to-date with legal developments.

The GLS offers a range of focused training, including programmes on EU law, administrative law, employment law, and human rights law and legislation. For those new to the GLS, our introductory course provides a valuable insight into Government legal practice, as well as a perfect opportunity to meet colleagues from right across Government. The GLS also encourages coaching and training in management skills, providing many courses and seminars in this important area of legal practice.

In addition, some Government Departments offer sponsorship for relevant external qualifications and practical language training. Many also develop their own training programmes. These are supplemented by a range of training opportunities at the National School of Government or at universities and other external institutions.
