The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a postgraduate program designed for individuals who wish to become solicitors in the United Kingdom. It typically follows the completion of a qualifying law degree or a conversion course and focuses on practical skills needed in legal practice, such as client interviewing, advocacy, and drafting legal documents. The LPC is usually one year long if taken full-time, or two years if taken part-time. Successful completion of the course is a prerequisite for entering a training contract, which is a period of practical training with a law firm, before qualifying as a solicitor.
