[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 108034, member: 7481"] Also do check the current rules as due to covid they have been changing from time to time. Eg my twins did the BPP PGDL last academic year and everyone (100%) had to do it online due to covid (even though booked in for the in person version). That is not of course the case this year as restrictions have lifted. Whereas in that academic year the law conversion course with UoL [B]did[/B] had in person course students going into lectures whenever pandemic laws allowed it (so that was different from BPP) and UoL had exams in person in the exam hall I believe (whereas my twins had all BPP GDL exams last academic year online only which in our view was better and this year on the LPC, which they are now doing full time with BPP, they have a choice for exams and are in person for the course on 2 days a week (although if you do not turn up you can watch the material anyway but mine have tended to go to most sessions in person) and my 2 have chosen online exams ( BPP LPC students can choose in the exam hall exams for most of the exams if they prefer this academic year (and the SRA has approved this for BPP but I think not UoL for some reason - may be UoL never asked to continue online exams for a second year ). In other words it seems to change from time to time due to covid and both as to course attendance and exams and between BPP and UoL which are not the same. For you it might be worth calling both BPP and UoL to get exact up to date answers both to what you can do in person or not (and also how exams will be held if that aspect matters to you). Also as you just accepted a training contract you will be under the new exam system so the firm is probably requiring GDL plus SQE1 preparation and SQE1 exam (followed by SQE 2 after) (not something I know about so do check in undertaking any BPP v UoL comparison what is included for that first year). I don't know the exact answer to your question. The person we know who did the GDL with UoL in person last year I think went in about 2 days a week, perhaps 3 for the seminars. Law firms will often specify attendance for students sponsored by them eg 3 days a week. [/QUOTE]
