[QUOTE="GT1205H, post: 218297, member: 41338"] Hi, I have to disagree with the other member that said they are not proper work experience. During events and fairs I have spoken to multiple firms’ recruiters (S&M, HL, Linklaters, A&O to name a few) and asked them about Forage. They absolutely love it and value it, to quote a recruiter from Linklaters “of course we want to hear about, they take 4-5 hours to complete so of course they are valuable, but specially what you learn from it”. So my understanding is the value depends on what you actually got from it, was it legal concepts? Was it a practice area? Did you learn about the role of a trainee? The firms work? I would advise that if you have a many of those (not from the firm) maybe put together 2-3 in one single entry (highlighting what you got). If you have done the firms programme then I would recommend making it an entry and talked about what you got from it and at the end you can mention briefly others that you have completed if different in content from the firm’s one.
