Why study with us
What do students say about this course?
The College delivered a pilot SLS course in 2021, this is what the attendees had to say:
- Easy to navigate the online learning portal and activities were arranged in a logical/systematic way that made the order of completion clear
- The module video demonstrations and sample notes helped greatly in quickly understanding the best approach to advocacy for the SQE
- The range of activities makes it clear the more practice you get in, and the more you critically assess your performance, the more meaning fully you will improve
- The learning delivery tested ability to understand and apply the law to the scenario provided.
- The practice and feedback activities provided a foundation for understanding what would be expected in the SQE exam
- The resources provided demonstrated how a top performing advocate would introduce the law and apply it orally to their given fact pattern. The sample documents also provided visual cures for understanding how to organise documents and signpost relevant rules/law
