A program, not just a course
Foundations of Law, Year 3
Remedies, regulation and the world beyond one country: administrative, international, cross-border, employment and immigration law.
6 courses, about 25 hours of study, a Program Diploma and a With Distinction tier. $69 for everything, once (the courses are $90 separately).
Get the whole programThe third year looks outward and applies. It starts with what a court can actually give, remedies, then the regulatory state in administrative law, then the law that crosses borders: public international law and conflict of laws. It finishes with two fields where law meets daily life for millions of people, employment and immigration. A fourth year, on professional practice and ethics, is planned.

Certificates
Each course issues its own Certificate of Completion. The program adds two more: a Program Diploma when every core course is passed, stating the study hours (about 25 hours of study across 6 core courses), and a Program Diploma with Distinction. They are certificates of completion from TheLawToKnow, not an accredited qualification or accredited continuing professional development.
Study time is estimated from the content: reading at 170 words a minute, the exercises and the quizzes. It comes to about 25 hours for the 6 core courses and about 25 hours with the recommended electives. It is an estimate of an attentive student’s time, not a promise.
Program Diploma
- Pass each of the 6 core courses (an average of at least 75 across its graded modules).
With Distinction
- The Program Diploma.
- An average of at least 90 across the core courses.
- A pass of at least 85 per cent on the timed program exam: 30 questions, 5 from each core course, 50 minutes. It can be retaken.

- How does the price work?
- Each course is $15 on its own. The whole program is one purchase (the price is on this page) and unlocks every course in it. An All-Access Membership opens the same courses too, with a certificate for each one you pass, but the program, its diploma and its exam are bought separately. Module 1 of every course is free to try.
- What do I get at the end?
- Each course issues its own Certificate of Completion when you pass its quizzes. When you have bought the program and passed all six core courses you can claim the Program Diploma, which states the program and its study hours. A With Distinction tier is also available: it needs a course average of at least 90 across the core courses and a pass on a timed program exam.
- Are these diplomas accredited?
- No. They are diplomas of completion from TheLawToKnow, not a degree, a licence to practise or accredited continuing professional development, and they do not replace the study a university or a professional body requires. If your professional body gives credit for study, you need to ask it and may need to apply yourself.
- Why only six courses?
- These are the subjects now in the catalogue. Tax, banking and financial law, and a practice year on ethics and professional skills, are planned, and the program will grow with them.
- Is any of it legal advice?
- No. The people and situations are invented for teaching. The courses are general education.
