I started the course in February 2022 and the first module was the SQE1 preparation course. I then sat SQE1 and passed in July 2022. Over last summer I did my Personal Injury module and commenced the SQE2 preparation in November 2022. I took a leave of absence due to my little one having a lot of health issues and have now picked up again with the SQE2 preparation and will be sitting the exam soon. I have written quite a bit about COLP on my Instagram account (@sqe.with.me). Overall, the manuals are great and cover all of the information you will need for the exams. For the SQE1 preparation, you also have videos/podcasts, drag and drop consolidation activities, digital flash cards and thousands of practice MCQs. If you stick to the course and put in the required time/effort then it is definitely enough to prepare you to sit the exams. COLP is fully online so you can study when you like. You have regular one to ones with your personal tutor and surgeries (zoom meetings/presentations) with a Subject Matter Experts. I find them to be good value for money, but no one is perfect. Some of the downfalls are: • Not very flexible with timings of meetings which are scheduled for the middle of the working day where most students work part time/ full time alongside study • Historically, questions on the discussion board have  taken a while to be answered but this seems to have improved. • Quite a few errors in the materials are picked up by students and have to be amended by the module team• There’s been a few issues with supervisors not showing for meetings and/or failing to mark practice assessments. My experience of the SQE1 exams was that the practice questions given by COLP were of a similar style and difficulty. It’s difficult to comment on the effectiveness of the SQE2 course as I haven’t sat the exam yet. You have weekly feedback meetings on practice questions you have to submit for marking. The feedback is tailored to you and some supervisors are better at feedback than others. The structure of the course is each week, you are scheduled to complete 2 build activities which are practice questions which help you with building the skill. You also have a self practice which is a full practice question which is not marked and you get a practice and feedback which is a practice question which is marked and you get a feedback meeting to discuss it. You also have quite a lot of reading to undertake each week to help refresh your memory of the legal knowledge. Despite the few negatives, I am glad I chose COLP and feel they are great value. Their courses are affordable and as they’re online, they offer the flexibility needed by lots of students. They are also very open to feedback and seem to take on board student comments and suggestions. I have still managed to build a community with students in my course via a WhatsApp group which has been very active and supportive. I hope this is helpful and wish you the best of luck with your SQE journey! Mary</blockquote>
