How Emma Passed SQE1 in the first quintile (July 2024) testimonial

I was super happy! I passed in the first quintile. On both papers I got over 70%. The beauty of what you are offering is that you explain things really well and they are really complex legal concepts that you can break down…

Liam

Absolutely fantastic, very well condensed! Colour highlighted notes were extremely helpful and the structure of the lectures/modules are well executed and easy to understand. The diagrams are the cherry on top for an SQE preparation course. It wasn’t like opening up a law text book and getting drenched in cases.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Each of the many detailed legal issues was explained with great clarity, however complex it was. Each legal point is outlined by this very experienced lawyer, and the actual wording of each part of the law is written on the screen as he speaks. Examples from decisive court cases are used to clarify each point of law.

It was especially helpful to be able to pause or repeat each point to fully absorb and record it in my notes.

Altogether, a clear, accessible explanation of every point in this extensive field.

A highly recommended course!
