    SRA - Character Suitability

    I’m obviously not Jessica, but I believe the usual process is that you won’t have a character & suitability assessment done until you’re actually applying to be admitted as a solicitor (ie once your PRT/QWE has been completed). However, you can ask for an early assessment of character &...

    Unfortunately I’m pretty sure that’s standard practice. There’s generally no guarantee that you’ll be kept on after your TC, or that you’ll get your first choice practice area if you are.

    I’m doing the LPC part time in person at BPP, but have had to have a couple of online classes where our tutors were ill and the in person sessions were cancelled. Personally I didn’t get on with the online classes at all. BPP use the Adobe Connect platform. The tutor has their camera and...

    Accelerated LPC Start and End Dates

    Hi @ARP, I’m currently doing the part time LPC at BPP at Holborn, and I don’t think there is a fast track intake at the beginning of the year - but this could be different at other locations.

    BPP LPC help. 3Days?

    Ah amazing - thanks so much! I’ve finally found the right page, but I only have access to the Jan 2022 start announcements page, even though I’m part of the September 2021 intake . I’ll raise a student query form and see if they can fix it for me.

    PGDL/MA Law (Conversion) Providers

    I completed the MA Law at Ulaw and am currently doing the LPC at BPP. I found the teaching and general experience of the MA at Ulaw really good, although this was pre-pandemic. The LPC at BPP has been pretty chaotic so far, v short notice of classes/timetables and difficulties accessing online...
