Student Review:

I took the course with no previous legal experience, but looking for a career change, and I was not disappointed! Seamus is a great tutor, he explains things very clearly, goes at a pace suitable for everyone and has a good sense of humor to keep things interesting. The course content exceeded my expectations and I certainly feel prepared and confident to start applying for roles within the legal sector. I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest in law. Rachel Clement, Reading.
