Our approach to learning
No matter which course you study with us, we make sure you receive training and support tailored to your needs and career aspirations. Our courses go far beyond what you need to succeed in your exams. To prepare you for the challenges of life in practice, our approach is all about practical skills and independent thinking, with support available if you need it.
Perfect preparation for life in practice
We carefully design our courses to mirror the challenges of the practice of law to help you develop the skills you’ll need to succeed. Just like a career in law, our courses are intellectually challenging, to prepare you for the pressures and rewards of practice.
Innovative learning methods
You’ll benefit from state-of-the art course design and a unique blend of both traditional and innovative learning methods to help you get the most out of your course. At the forefront of legal training, we integrate interactive electronic learning methods such as online interactive tutorials (i-Tutorials) and podcasts with traditional face-to-face learning.
Keeping you on track
You’ll be able to track your progress throughout your course via mock assessments, regular oral and written feedback, and one-to-one meetings with personal tutors. All of our tutors are also contactable by phone or e-mail to offer support when you need it.
Business and commercial awareness
Law firms increasingly tell us they are looking for trainees with a strong commercial awareness and business acumen. We help you build these key skills – both through our courses and extra-curricula events such as guest presentations from legal and business professionals.
Supporting your training through technology
To support your learning, our Electronic Legal Interactive Training Environment (ELITE) gives you access to all your course materials online, including interactive self-test exercises, collaborative group assignments, electronic copies of course materials and interactive tutorials (i-Tutorials) where appropriate.
