Career change

Hi All,

I need some help after working in HR for the last 25 years I have decided to have a career change. Whilst I have a masters in Employment Law, I don't want to carry on with this. I am going to undertake a paralegal formal qualification but slightly confused which is the most appropriate course to go for.

1. Cilex - CPQ Foundation course this looks very academic but is this the best route for a paralegal?
2. Specialist Paralegal qualification through the university of law looks practical and is my preference but is this professionally affiliated?

In essence I would love to hear from those currently studying or finished studying recommendations on providers.

Thanks in advance

Emma
