At WELLA, we offer a variety of soft skills/law like leadership, gender-sensitive governance, transitioning from local to international legal practice and hard law courses ranging from arbitration, commerce, and environmental to tech-related courses. However, because leadership, particularly women’s leadership, is a key guiding principles of WELLA, all courses offered mainstream leadership and gender.

Any legal or paralegal professional, male or female, can take a WELLA course.

There are three models-- online (synchronous), hybrid (asynchronous) and in-person.

It depends. The timelines for each course depend on a lot of factors, such as content and other logistical matters. Courses will, therefore range from a few hours to a couple of days.

The online and hybrid versions can be taken at any time of the year. The Summer Academy is an annual, specially curated academy that will take place at a designated venue each year.

The terms and conditions for participants to access sponsorship or discounts will also be available for each course’s advertising. Sign up for our newsletters to receive regular updates.

Apart from the knowledge and skills participants will gain, WELLA offers an avenue for widening participants’ networks. Participants who complete courses will also be given certificates of completion for their personal and professional use. Depending on the modalities of each bar association and law society, taking a WELLA course may also give you continuous legal education credit.
