CF3 4AB
Company number: 09929745

3. Purpose of This Website
3.1 We created the Brightlink Law School website to make legal education and career routes easier to understand.
3.2 The website provides information for:
- (a) people considering a career in law;
- (b) prospective and existing legal professionals;
- (c) people considering CILEX and other legal education routes;
- (d) apprentices and people considering an apprenticeship;
- (e) employers and legal teams;
- (f) education and training organisations;
- (g) organisations interested in working with Brightlink; and
- (h) anyone wanting to understand more about Brightlink and the services we provide.
3.3 We take reasonable care to make the information on this website accurate, useful and understandable.
3.4 Legal education, qualification rules, funding arrangements and professional requirements can change. We therefore review and update the website as appropriate, but information may occasionally become out of date between reviews.
4. Using Information on the Website
4.1 You may use the information on this website to help you understand Brightlink, our services and the legal education and career routes described.
4.2 General website information cannot take account of every person’s qualifications, experience, employment, funding position or career plans.
4.3 Where your individual circumstances affect the answer, we encourage you to contact us. One of the reasons Brightlink provides opportunities to talk to us directly is that legal education routes are not always well served by a one-size-fits-all answer.
4.4 You should check information that is important to a decision before relying on it, particularly where it concerns:
- (a) qualification eligibility;
- (b) exemptions;
- (c) professional or regulatory requirements;
- (d) examination or assessment arrangements;
- (e) apprenticeship eligibility;
- (f) public funding;
- (g) course fees; or
- (h) important application or registration deadlines.
5. Enquiries Through the Website
5.1 You can contact Brightlink through forms and contact options provided on the website.
5.2 Submitting an enquiry does not commit you to purchasing a service or enrolling with Brightlink.
5.3 It does not commit Brightlink to accepting an enrolment, providing a service or entering into a contract with you.
5.4 Where you ask us to contact you, we may use the contact details you provide to respond to the enquiry and discuss the matter you have raised.
5.5 Please do not include confidential or sensitive personal information in ordinary website enquiry boxes.
5.6 Information about how we handle personal information submitted through the website is contained in the Brightlink Law School Privacy Policy.
6. Courses, Enrolment and Brightlink Services
6.1 Information about a Brightlink course or service on this website does not by itself create a contract between you and Brightlink.
6.2 Before you enrol or purchase a service, you will be given or directed to the information and terms applicable to that service.
6.3 A contractual relationship with Brightlink will arise in accordance with those applicable terms and the relevant enrolment, booking or acceptance process.
6.4 Where there is any difference between general information on this website and the specific terms provided to you in connection with an enrolment or service, the specific contractual information applicable to that service will take precedence.
6.5 Nothing in these Website Terms of Use removes or limits any statutory rights that you have as a consumer.
7. Information About Qualification Routes
7.1 We know that professional legal qualification routes can be complicated. A significant purpose of this website is to explain them more clearly.
7.2 We take reasonable care to describe qualification routes accurately using the information available at the time of publication.
7.3 Requirements are ultimately determined by the relevant awarding, assessment, professional or regulatory organisation.
7.4 Those organisations may change their requirements, rules, fees, assessment arrangements or processes independently of Brightlink.
7.5 Where an external organisation makes the final decision about matters such as eligibility, exemptions, registration, assessment, professional experience, membership or qualification, Brightlink cannot guarantee the decision that organisation will make.
7.6 If you are unsure how a qualification route applies to you, please contact us before making an important decision based only on general website information.
8. CILEX and Other External Organisations
8.1 Brightlink provides education and support for qualifications and professional routes involving independent awarding, assessment, professional and regulatory organisations.
8.2 References to CILEX or another organisation are used where necessary to explain the relevant qualification, professional route, relationship or service.
8.3 Unless expressly stated otherwise, Brightlink does not speak for those organisations.
8.4 External organisations remain responsible for their own:
- (a) qualification rules;
- (b) registration requirements;
- (c) membership requirements;
- (d) examination and assessment arrangements;
- (e) exemptions;
- (f) professional experience requirements;
- (g) regulatory decisions;
- (h) application processes; and
- (i) fees charged directly by them.
8.5 Information on this website is intended to help people understand those routes and should not be treated as replacing the rules or formal decisions of the relevant organisation.
9. Apprenticeships and Funding
9.1 The website may contain information about apprenticeships, funded learning and other forms of financial support.
9.2 Eligibility for an apprenticeship or public funding depends upon the applicable funding rules, programme requirements and individual circumstances.
9.3 Funding arrangements and government rules may change.
9.4 Information on this website does not guarantee that an individual, employer or programme will qualify for funding.
9.5 Where funding is important to your decision, eligibility should be confirmed before enrolment or another financial commitment is made.
10. Course Fees, Costs and Comparisons
10.1 We aim to keep information about Brightlink fees and payment options accurate and current.
10.2 Where the website compares the cost of different qualification or career routes, the comparison is intended to help people understand their options.
10.3 Actual costs will depend upon factors including the qualification route chosen, previous qualifications, exemptions, external registration and assessment fees and the particular services required.
10.4 A reference to potential savings does not mean that every person will save that amount.
10.5 Current Brightlink fees and what is included in them should be confirmed before enrolment.
10.6 Fees payable directly to awarding, assessment, regulatory or professional organisations are outside Brightlink’s control and may change.
11. Career Information and Outcomes
11.1 We provide information about legal careers, qualification pathways, progression and professional development because these are an important part of making informed decisions about legal education.
11.2 Career information is necessarily general.
11.3 Individual outcomes depend upon many factors, including qualifications, experience, performance, the employment market, individual employers and personal circumstances.
11.4 Brightlink does not guarantee:
- (a) employment;
- (b) promotion;
- (c) a particular job or role;
- (d) admission to or membership of a profession;
- (e) completion of a qualification;
- (f) a particular examination or assessment result; or
- (g) a particular salary or level of earnings,
unless a specific written Brightlink term expressly provides otherwise.
11.5 Nothing in this clause affects any separate commitment Brightlink expressly makes to a learner under the applicable terms of a particular course or service.
12. Educational Information Is Not Legal Advice
12.1 Brightlink is a legal education provider.
12.2 The website necessarily contains information about law, legal practice and legal professions.
12.3 That information is provided for education, career and training purposes.
12.4 It is not legal advice about a particular legal problem or set of circumstances.
12.5 You should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional if you need legal advice about an individual matter.
13. Information for Employers
13.1 The website contains information about apprenticeships, workforce development, training legal teams, recruitment, professional development and other services for employers.

13.3 General website information cannot take account of every employer’s workforce, funding, regulatory, contractual or employment circumstances.
