Two intensive full-time programmes are offered each year. The first commences in mid-January and runs to the end of the June, and the second runs from early July to early December. A Night School is also offered which runs from late January to the end of July.
Candidates at the School register as UCT students for the semester course DOL5600F/S Legal Practice, and may elect either to follow that course alone or to complete a minor dissertation as well, in order to complete the requirements for a Postgraduate Diploma in Law in Legal Practice.
A further option is for candidates who have completed DOL5600F/S to apply for admission to LLM studies, which would require the completion of an additional one and a half courses and a 25,000-word minor dissertation.
Importantly, attendance at the School may be credited towards the period required for the successful completion of Articles of Clerkship for the purposes of admission as an attorney.
