I would seriously consider these before making any specific decision.As Jess mentioned, one key thing to consider is whether you're looking for a full qualification (like an LLM) or simply a prep course to help you pass the SQE. I've met many candidates who've successfully completed the SQE with BARBRI, though it sometimes required significantly more self-directed study. Moreover, if you’re being sponsored by a firm, bear in mind that some firms will often require you to take certain modules as part of the LLM. These are usually selected to ensure you’re prepared for the practice areas the firm focuses on, so there may be less flexibility in how you structure your studies. If your priority is getting SQE-ready as efficiently as possible, then a focused prep course (e.g. BARBRI) may be a better fit.Funding is also a big factor. If you’re relying on student finance or grants, bear in mind that these are usually only available for LLM courses. I've also met several candidates who could not afford the SQE assessment fees (and these aren’t included in course costs), so make sure you’ll be able to afford both the course and the exams. It may not be worth starting a prep course unless you’re reasonably sure you’ll be able to sit the exams within the same academic year. I can attest that it's really easy to forget the content before you get to the assessment if you don't sit the exam during the time frame set by the course provider.Lastly, I can't agree enough with Jess' point about checking each provider’s SQE pass rates, as well as how they support students. More specifically, if you're not sponsored, I would highly recommend reaching out to students who were in a similar position to gauge their own experiences. I've met non-sponsored students who had varying experiences at BARBRI, BPP, ULaw, and so forth. For myself, it was really important to have access to tutors and an extensive question bank that came close to the SRA's own style of questions.Hope that helps and happy to chat more if you'd like!</blockquote>
