Taking Canadian law school courses

In order to obtain an NCA Certificate of Qualification, most applicants are required to demonstrate competence in several topics. This can usually be done in one of three ways:

1. through the NCA examinations;
2. by registering as a special student in a Canadian law program and successfully completing the assigned subjects as part of the program of studies; or
3. a combination of (1) and (2). 

If the NCA assessment requires studies at a Canadian law school, the number of subjects will depend on the applicant's legal education and professional experience. 

An applicant who chooses, or is required, to complete their NCA requirements at a Canadian law school must contact the NCA for pre-approval of their courses.
