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 (iii) I just want to know which days they will be out attending the LPC in the physical sense (if any). If it were likely someone answering the phone would know the answer I suppose my sons could just call them and ask. Perhaps we should try that.Hopefully timetables will appear shortly. Even the email I quoted above about timetables is a little unclear. The BPP online description of the London LPC implies there remains a choice of 4 days, 3 or 2. If that is untrue that should be removed. So if there are still choices this Autumn (as to 4 3 or 2 days) then they presumably cannot send you a timetable until you have made the choices of which options for attendance you have picked. It may well be different and more certain for those sponsored by big firms who may well have specified what they require eg 3 days."Study options* Full-time (2, 3 or 4 days)*All modes and modules run subject to demand. They may differ across locations and start dates. **Part-time days/evenings and times are Year 1 only. Depending on your choice of electives, you may be required to attend a different part-time mode to study your electives. ***Non-credit bearing and not examined. +Weekly patterns are subject to change and not guaranteed. Consecutive weeks may occur during assessment periods."(From Keyfacts download via https://www.bpp.com/courses/law/postgraduate/lpc-legal-practice-course )I am guessing it is possible they will want fewer people in and on fewer days so might prefer people going for 2 long days rather than 4 short ones for example or perhaps they have decided everyone will do 3 days. It is anyone's guess at the moment.
