[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 189292, member: 36738"] Hiya [USER=38160]@Gimmeatcplease[/USER]! Welcome to the forum!!! I know entering the legal profession can be daunting, but I'd strongly advise AGAINST using services like those offered by Bradstone Allington. I learned about these schemes through [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] who flagged concerns about similar companies, and there’s a detailed report on RollOnFriday that raised significant red flags about Bradstone in particular. These companies often charge substantial fees (in this case, £2,000) for unaccredited e-learning courses and unpaid work experience. You can find the article here for more context: [URL='https://lnkd.in/ekkPtFcd']RollOnFriday article link[/URL]. While it’s understandable to feel pressure to secure a paralegal role to progress your career, it’s worth exploring alternative pathways that can build valuable, transferrable skills for a legal career. Many trainees at various law firms, including myself, have come from varied professional backgrounds like teaching, government, compliance, and business development - none of these pre-law career paths require you to pay for work experience. I completely understand how daunting this process can be, but you’re not alone, and there are many ways to strengthen your applications without resorting to costly (and in this case questionable) schemes. Please do reach out if you’d like advice on your applications. Wishing you the best of luck! [/QUOTE]
