Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jane Smith" data-source="post: 78288" data-attributes="member: 7481">I agree with what Nicktim said. I am not on the BPP PGDL but am a lawyer and two of my children were on that course full time so know a fair bit about it. Their view and mine was the BPP teaching was very good (as my 2 older daughters found a few years ago and bear in mind a lot of the big firms use BPP and will under the SQE system too). We also know someone taking the GDP full time with ULaw to compare this year. Both BPP and ULaw are fine, but my preference,  despite this year's pandemic and new PGDL difficulties, are to stick with BPP.  However going to either will be fine for most people.I agree , as someone stated above, that in September last year there were problems with BPP such as people not having timetables, no time to do the pre reading before the course etc although I think my two had theirs on time albeit at last minute. One of my children still has not had their student card by the way - minor thing but is typical of how it can be hard to get answers from admin. One has searched all emails for the date of results day for example and it may be his fault and he missed an email, but he has not found that date yet. I presume it will be a day next month. Part of the problem has been it is a new course. I like many of the elements of the new course,  however and it finishes in April. It won't be new from now on so may be better in May.  I think comkpany law which is new this year had too many slides and was not as consistent in terms of depth (it was too detailed) compared with the other modules but that was a relatively minor issue.    Secondly, there has been covid and therefore  the course and the exams have been 100% online. That has worked fine for my two once the first week was over and they were used to how the IT/systems worked and decided how and when to take part in the online workshops.  We don't know yet if they have passed this term's exams/the course yet however.......If you could start BPP in May and if you go with ULaw would start in September I would go for BPP in May just to get going with it (if you are sure of what you want to do and have considered SQE issues/choices).Shadow above rightly points out that there were marks for your group with anonymous numbers for each person so you could see where you fell within that group and how your marks com,pare to those in the other group - which I think is very helpful (and my children were in different groups so could also compare between the two groups too).[Apologies for the intrusion of a parent/lawyer on here but I have got slightly interested in the courses and also the changes to SQE2...]</blockquote>
