For us, the law is not cold and impersonal. It is pure and beautiful – in the same way that the sheer logic of mathematics is stunning.
The golden thread that runs through our training is the exceptional quality of our notes and manuals, with which we strive to empower all those working in the legal profession to behold the beauty of the law.
Here are 9 reasons why you should consider Gawie le Roux.
Learn from experienced legal practitioners with decades of experiences
Your lecturers are practising legal professionals with extensive experience in their respective fields, ensuring that the training is hands-on, practical, and aligned with legal practice.
“The lecturers were exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging. Each lecturer is an expert in their field, and their ability to simplify complex concepts added immense value to the learning experience.” - Shuayb Mohamed, top achiever in the 400-hour PVT programme
Bridge the gap between theory and legal practice
The PVT programmes are designed to help LLB graduates transition from academic legal theory to the practical skills required in a law firm and throughout their legal careers.
“It reinforced theoretical knowledge from my university studies and helped me bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application in the workplace." - Jacobie Kotzé, 400-hour PVT programme
Study from anywhere, even abroad
The GLR PVT School is presented online, allowing students across South Africa to complete the programme from the comfort of their home or while travelling. The majority of lectures are also available as recordings, making it easier to balance studies with professional and personal responsibilities.
“When Gawie le Roux finally made the programme available fully online, it was the opportunity I had been waiting for. It allowed me to pursue the training I needed without having to put my career and life abroad on hold, making it the perfect solution for my circumstances.” - Merrilise Rosa Reddy, top achiever in the 400-hour PVT programme
LPC-accredited PVT programmes of course work
Both the 150- and 400-hour PVT programmes are accredited by the Legal Practice Council (LPC) and fulfil the structured course work requirements prescribed for admission as an attorney.
Comprehensive notes
Students receive detailed study material compiled by subject matter experts, helping them focus on the practical knowledge and skills required for practice.
“The notes were clear and easy to follow, while the recordings were a game-changer. Being a full-time employee and parent, the ability to watch the recordings at my own pace and at times that suited me was invaluable. The notes and recordings provided the structure and clarity I needed.” - Maheerah Hendricks, Attorneys’ admission exam courses
Flexible live and recorded lectures
Attend lectures live or watch recordings later (with limited exceptions for certain practical advocacy modules, if you’re attending the PVT programme), giving you greater flexibility to learn at your own pace.
"I chose GLR PVT School due to its strong reputation and its flexible online programme, which is tailored to accommodate full-time employees and family-oriented individuals such as myself. The ability to learn at my own pace with realistic assessment deadlines was well-suited to my demanding schedule.” - Aysha Armien, top achiever in the 400-hour PVT programme
Ongoing academic support
Students have access to email support and dedicated chat groups throughout the programme to assist with questions and administrative matters.
“The standard of teaching and professionalism was incomparable with regard to selflessness, dedication, and the culture of teaching and learning. We never had a lecture cancelled or postponed throughout the course of our 400-hour programme.” - Dr Eric Delani Ngubane, 400-hour PVT programme
32 years of dedicated practical legal training
Established in 1994, the Institute has more than three decades of experience in professional legal education and has expanded from conveyancing training into a broad range of legal education programmes.

The professionalism, organisation, and genuine support from the entire GLR team made the experience not only manageable but truly enjoyable.” - Michelle Du Toit, top achiever in the 400-hour PVT programme
A clear pathway beyond PVT and admission
The Institute also offers Attorneys' admission examination preparation courses, conveyancing and notarial practice courses to prepare for the LPC exams, webinars and other professional development opportunities, allowing students to upskill throughout their legal careers.

Following my upcoming admission as an attorney, I aspire to advance my legal career by qualifying as both a conveyancer and a notary public, with GLR as my first choice for exam preparation.” - Amelia Hough, top achiever in the 400-hour PVT programme
