Getting overseas QWE signed off?
I have been looking into the SQE route as an alternative to TC route due to my circumstances and wondered if anyone had details on the requirements to get overseas QWE signed off? I’ve read on the SRA website that QWE can be attained overseas providing that it conforms to their criteria and...- hd112211

2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion
Sorry to hear. But always remember that reaching that stage is a fantastic achievement even if you didn't pass the last hurdle. It's a strong endorsement from the firm that you were one of the top candidates. It is always stressful not to hear back even if it is confirmation of a rejection...- hd112211

GDL UoL vs BPP - current situation/quality of teaching
Sorry to hear of your experience so far. Sadly the issues that you report are all issues I have heard of from other BPP students, especially since the outset of the pandemic. Course pace however was something that I was made aware of by a former tutor at BPP during my own GDL studies at ULaw...- hd112211

LPC Help?
I think it comes down to how comfortable you feel with hand-written notes vs digital notes when it comes to actually using them. Be it for reference during your tutorials, for revisions, or for the exams themselves. Typing up notes has its benefits, such as referencing or searching them...- hd112211

LPC Help?
Just to add my two cents, having completed the LPC late last year (initially in person, but switched to distance once the pandemic hit). Reading and taking notes is down to personal preference I think. Everyone has a slightly different best practice, so do what works for you. Do remember that...- hd112211

General Discussion Thread 2020-21
I’ve never done it, but it might depend entirely on the VI system being used. If it’s the kind that asks you consecutive questions with only a few seconds pause in between to read the next question then this might not be feasible on a mobile device (be it front or rear camera). You won’t be able...- hd112211

LPC or SQE?
This is a great thread and the insights are really helpful. I have a question about QWE, specifically overseas work experience. According to the SRA guidelines, overseas work can count towards QWE: ”Work experience can be obtained in England or Wales or overseas and it does not need to cover...- hd112211

GDL UoL vs BPP - current situation/quality of teaching
I studied both the GDL and LPC with ULaw with the LPC being partly via remote learning last year due to COVID. All in all I think they made the best of a bad situation and the delivery of my LPC courses were as good as could be expected. I certainly got what I needed out of them. Having said...- hd112211

KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME
Hello all, good luck everyone with Kennedy's assessments/interviews coming up. One question though, maybe I'm missing something but on their site it says that the 2023 SQE/TC applications open on 1 May 2021. Is this a different round of applications to the ones I'm reading about in this thread...- hd112211

Hi all! I didn't make it passed the online test round this time for the Ashurst VS. I was wondering if I apply for the direct TC, will I need to make changes to my application? Is it even worth applying for the direct TC?- hd112211
