These are video conference based classes that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussions amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class, you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.

We will point you out the relevant reading material as well as templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question, you have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the learning management system as well as the WhatsApp group where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.

Our training methodology is unique. While it is not endorsed by any outside authority, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we have provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.

A student who secures 70% or more in the final assessment of any MEPSC and Skill India recognized course of LawSikho would be eligible for the MEPSC and Skill India certification.

This Certificate Course in Introduction to Legal Drafting: Contracts, Petitions, Opinions & Articles course is Co-certified by MEPSC, a sector skill council under the aegis of NSDC and SKILL INDIA, a mission to upskill 40 crores people by the year 2022, and therefore recognized by the Government of India through the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship.

This course is offered as a skill development course by a private company. LawSikho is India’s leading online legal education provider and provides high-quality legal courses that teach you how to do practical legal work as required by the industry. 

For any recruiter or client, what matters the most is whether you possess the relevant skills to match their needs and serve their interests. We will train you in rare and important skills that are highly in-demand and our initiative is one of a kind. 

Experts review the syllabus and course content for all the courses. These experts are drawn from law firms and the industry at large. The course is conceptualised, co-ordinated and marketed by LawSikho, a venture that aims to make justice accessible to people from all walks of life through access to superior legal knowledge.

The legal industry knows and respects our work, and they know that anyone who finished our course and obtained certification has a certain level of knowledge and skills. If nothing else, you will be appreciated for the knowledge and skills you would acquire through our courses and would be able to demonstrate after due completion.

We recommend that you should have completed your higher secondary / Class 12 from a recognized Board / University. In the case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with the English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a university or college. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to join our courses.

Students of LawSikho Diplomas will be provided hard copy materials within 30 days of your course commencement date.  

However, online classes, videos, regulatory updates and periodic upgrades to the courses cannot be included in the hard copies. We will provide you with hard copy material for all important chapters. We keep adding many new chapters from time to time and there are restrictions on page numbers so all online material cannot be available in hard copy. We would keep adding new material online from time to time, so please do not expect all such material to be made available in the hard copy also. You can use the hard copy materials for your reference, however, we recommend that you do not exclusively rely on hard copies for cracking the assessment test and the exercises. Please refer to the online library of materials from time to time.

Note: Hardcopy material is sent through Indian Speed Post (As more places are serviceable by post than courier), If your area is not serviceable and if you want to get hardcopy by courier send us a specific request, If this is not done and speed post bounces back then we need to levy the courier charge on you.

If an international student requires hardcopy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of courier which they need to pay and then the hardcopy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for courier.
