Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 11573" data-source="post: 79132">Hi, yes I really was not trying to undermine anyone's experiences. [USER=487]@Daniel Boden[/USER] you're right- what I was trying to say is that it's a massive step up from university study. You take the top candidates only (2.1 and above) and put them on an intense course where only the top 15% of candidates or so will gain a distinction. I myself am a 2.1 graduate so I absolutely was not trying to insult that achievement! This means 85% of people studying the course are likely to be unhappy. Add the high-pressure and stressful environment (that I know to be difficult from my own experience), transition to online learning and potential financial uncertainty and it is even harder. For example, I worked for years to afford the GDL and make the transition into law and I still required additional loan funding. I was told that the lack of promised materials was due to Covid-related disruptions. I have no idea if that's true. I can see how that would be incredibly frustrating if you like using physical materials. Personally, I like having digital copies.I know there have been issues with the course. BPP even gave the wrong exam question during one exam. As I've said, I found the PGDL to be stressful. Yet, I think a lot of the issues people have talked about don't add up to my own experience, and I'd like prospective students to see a balanced discussion of the issues.</blockquote>
