    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    My son received an email confirmation to his BPP email address that the law book had been shipped to arrive later in August - I presume it will come any day now from the book publishers (but nothing about the materials). I am not sure if my other son has even completed the Hub task of giving...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    I find it very useful having people respond here. Neither of my sons have received their BPP materials. That may be because only one has confirmed the home addresss on the hub although BPP has had the address in its records for ages. So it is useful to know you have had your BPP materials. As to...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    That is very helpful. We just found what you quoted now too . A lot of what is there for my son does seem to relate to the September intake (the correct intake) but still seeing some August references. Each time we look we see more so may be we were missing things last time. We did see a few...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    That is useful - above. Since last night on the Hub we can now see "Start Here" (which I mentioned was not enabled yesterday) which is an improvement on yesterday. However what we can see there is only for August starters - so probably less helpful that Start Here being blocked. "Your...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    We are making a bit of progress - been able to choose to sit exams online (people can choose to write them in the exam hall by hand if they prefer) and can see and access pre-reading/preparation (lots of it) - on the Hub. On balance on-line exams last year for the PGDL were fine and although...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    This bit might be useful too as it sounds like until you take a decision on how you want your exams to be you cannot access most of the remaining material. "Before you do anything else, please do access the 'Assessment Choice - Important' tile. This allows you to choose the form of assessment...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    That is very useful, thank you. I just checked with one of my sons and it all looked PGDL from last year until we scrolled down right to the bottom when we saw LPC. Not found the timetable yet. "Your course materials for the LPC will be sent in two batches. The first batch of BPP produced...

    PGDL Online BPP

    I should not be on here at all really as I am a lawyer parent, but you can certainly ask anything. My sons both did the BPP PDGL last academic year, one living here at home so I have a reasonable amount of information about it. Despite doing it in separate cities in theory, it was 100% online...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    I was putting off work hence long email yesterday.... Also yesterday one of my sons sent me another email from BPP headed "timetable options survey and online form" from the senior admissions officer which again sends the time tabling survey link for completion and gives people their student...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    London BPP LPC full time. In case it helps people let me go through what my sons have had. However if you are sponsored by a law firm it could be different and the firm is likely to set the number of days a week etc. So I would not worry if you have not heard yet but do call them / chase it...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    My son has received the term dates today for the LPC (BPP) and has completed the survey of preferred days (gone for 2 days a week and added reasons for in the box at the end).

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    My son called BPP today and was told a form is being emailed to students tomorrow (which they sent him today) to indicate preferences of days for attendance this Autumn. I think he called it a survey. I presume BPP will be checking how many people want 4 half days or 2 full days or whatever and...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    M&A, all I can guess is they are trying to find out how many people they can persuade to move from in person to online and only then decide which options for attendance they will be offering particularly for those who are not sponsored by a firm. Also the email I quoted above is not consistent...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    People need to plan, even decide whether to rent a room in London. Not knowing a month or less in advance is unhelpful. The only reason I am involved (as a parent who has never been a "helicopter" parent - I never even read a bit of GCSE course work) is (i) I am a lawyer (ii) I am paying and...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    There was not much notice a year ago for my sons who did the BPP PGDL which ended up being 100% online. One had an email today confirming he is registered which included. (This is for London, full time LPC BPP - not accelerated) "Timetables We are in the process of creating your timetable...

    Virtual or Physical LPC (the great debate!!!!!)

    If you were already in the UK I would say do it in person (I am assuming BPP will be running it in person in September). As you are not it probably will not matter if you do it online. We also had the BPP email about would you prefer online instead etc but are sticking with in person (as no...

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    I am not 100% sure. Before the pandemic people could choose 2 long days for 4 half days for example for the days you had to be in face to face. My sons are starting the LPC in September and their sisters have already done it (before pandemic) but my sons have not yet been told which days so I...

    SQE content - your thoughts wanted

    For a lot of people this summer they have to decide whether to do the LPC this Autumn or not so something about the pros and cons eg I think if you do the LPC, then cannot obtan a TC you can then do SQE2 without sitting SQE1 (which I think I read on here but there does not seem to be a lot of...

    PGDL or LLM Law and Legal Practice at BPP

    My sons have just finished the PDGL and neither (on my advice) did the LLM option (and they did not need to do so as they did not need a masters loan). Their older sisters who, like I am, are solicitors, did not do it either (the one sponsored by a law firm was not required to do the LLM...
