LLM & SQE

I cannot recommend the LLM course highly enough. The support throughout this program has been absolutely exceptional, and I honestly couldn't have completed it without the incredible team.

Special mention must go to Nabeala, Beverley, and Sajida - simply amazing! These three made all the difference to my academic journey.

Nabeela's guidance was absolutely essential to my success. She was incredibly generous with her time and expertise throughout the year. Her support during my Capstone project was invaluable - providing clear direction when I needed it most and helping me navigate the complexities of the research process.

What sets this program apart is having dedicated professionals who genuinely care about student success. Their knowledge, accessibility, and willingness to go above and beyond transformed what could have been an overwhelming experience into an achievable goal.

I'm deeply grateful for the support I received. If you're considering an LLM, look no further - the quality of guidance and mentorship here is truly exceptional.

5 stars doesn't do justice to this experience - I'd give 8 if I could!

My experience at The College of Legal…

My experience at The College of Legal Practice was truly exceptional. As both a Student and an Ambassador, I embarked on a dynamic and immersive e-learning journey that deepened my understanding of England and Wales law while expanding my professional skill set.
The dual role offered a unique vantage point: I not only enhanced my legal expertise through rigorous academic engagement, but also developed targeted marketing competencies by representing the College and supporting its outreach initiatives. This blend of scholarship and strategic communication enriched my perspective and prepared me for multifaceted roles within legal education and practice.
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to and learn from such an innovative institution.

Truly Dedicated to Student Success

I had the privilege of being supervised by Nabeela during my LLM dissertation, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She provided exceptional guidance, timely feedback, and constant encouragement throughout my research journey. Her depth of knowledge, patience, and ability to inspire confidence made all the difference in helping me achieve excellent results.

Nabeela not only supported me academically but also motivated me to think critically, refine my work, and aim higher. She goes above and beyond for her students, and her commitment to their success is truly remarkable. I am deeply grateful for her supervision and for the positive impact she has had on my academic and professional development.

For anyone considering the College of Legal Practice, having mentors like Nabeela is an invaluable part of the experience.

CoLP prep for SQE1

The course was very extensive and gave a solid study foundation in preparation for the exam. Initially, at the outset of studies on 3 February 2025, I planned to sit in July 2025. However, I am using it as a guide to prepare for exams in January 2025.

I also appreciated key principles, and exam guidance being highlighted throughout the manuals.

It was also appreciated that the tutors were all realistic about how challenging the exams can be and stressed the importance of preparing well.

An experience worth it!

It was a great and amazing experience to be part of The College of Legal Practice, learn about the SQE, the exam and its process. Knowing where I need to work on and what I need to do more of or study helped me in order to succeed in my SQE prep for the SQE 1. It was a really great opportunity for me and looking forward to going for my qualifications exam.

Flexible, Focused, and Supportive - Perfectly Ideal for Working Paralegals

Balancing full-time paralegal work with SQE1 preparation isn’t easy, but The College of Legal Practice makes it achievable. The SQE1 Prep Course is clearly structured around the SRA assessment, with a strong focus on black letter law, fair amount of MCQs, and smart revision tools that really help with retention.

The flexibility of the course has been a game-changer. I’ve mostly relied on the weekly recorded workshops, which are easy to revisit on my own schedule. That said, I’d highly encourage attending the live sessions and 1-2-1 with personal tutor where possible, they’re a great opportunity to interact with tutors and consolidate learning in real time.

The course platform is clean and user-friendly, and the volume of practice questions and mock exams has really helped me build confidence. What truly stands out, though, is the academic support. As a scholarship student, I’ve also felt really encouraged, especially Alice who's been consistently thoughtful in checking in and making sure students like me feel supported, seen, and heard. It’s clear the College genuinely cares about its students and wants them to succeed.

For anyone looking for a flexible, affordable, and exam-driven route through SQE1, I’d wholeheartedly recommend the College of Legal Practice.

A Flexible, Supportive and Career-Focused Learning Experience

A Flexible, Supportive and Career-Focused Learning Experience

Studying at the College of Legal Practice has been one of the best decisions I’ve made on my legal journey. As someone balancing work and study, I’ve found their fully online and flexible structure incredibly valuable. The platform is easy to use, and the materials are well-organised, practical, and aligned with the GDL and SQE assessments.

What sets CoLP apart is the level of support from tutors and supervisors—they’re approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your progress. As a student ambassador, I’ve also seen how committed the team is to improving the student experience and supporting our professional development.

If you’re looking for a modern, accessible, and career-focused route to qualifying as a solicitor, I highly recommend the College of Legal Practice.

SQE1 preparation course

I’m currently enrolled in the SQE1 preparation programme and have had a wonderful experience overall. The efficiency of communication with the COLP’s staff, their willingness to help, the quality of the preparation materials, the timely updates, and many other aspects have all been excellent. I would like to specifically highlight the quality of the dedicated subject surgeries provided throughout the course. The presenters demonstrate a high level of expertise, and many complex concepts have become much clearer to me after attending these sessions.

Fantastic Course

I’ve studied my LLM with the college and I have to say it’s the best choice I made. Staff are super helpful, kind and make you feel supported and not just a number on a sheet. Passed my SQE exams first time as well and it just would not have been possible without the course materials the college gives. You have lectures, 121s, designated tutors and if you can’t make the live sessions everything’s recorded. Plus loads of materials and revision tools- Thank you so much to the team! If you need a flexible , distance learning but fully supportive studying environment then this is the place for you!

I am midway through my SQE LLM in legal practice and could not have chosen a better course provider. My SQE 1 prep module gave me everything I needed to prepare of the exams, and their mock MCQ's are the closest I have seen to the SRA's. I passed FLK 1 and due to resit FLK 2.

The transactional modules are also very interesting and give an insight to what it is like to work in practice.

10/10 experience so far.

I have been studying with COLP since September 2024 doing the LLM & SQE prep course.

I have been really impressed with the layout of the course and the modules- it doesn't feel overbearing and is manageable around life responsibilities.

I have completed one of my chosen modules which was Intellectual Property and loved this module- It was so different to being taught at undergrad level as it was more engaging and you actually complete assignments where you actually feel like it is developing your skills to ready you for practice. It isn't just about the principles of law but actually applying it to 'fake' clients and getting feedback on your drafting and client focus skills. I'm looking forward to completing my next module in Family Law.

In terms of the SQE prep, I have completed SQE1 prep and sitting in July. In complete honesty, the course is intense but that is simply to prepare you for the reality of the SQE. - I found the support of a personal tutor and the activities on each module to be really engaging and I use it for my everyday revision.

Although this whole course is online, it has been super engaging and I have nothing bad to say about my experience this far. I would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable yet informative and engaging provider.

The GDL at COLP

I’m seven months into the 10 month GDL and I have been really impressed with the support, the learning and the tutors. It has been a lot of work and I have found it very difficult to fit it in around work and family life, however, with it being just ten months, it is just about bearable. It is heavily reliant on self-study supported by workshops and so you need to be able to motivate yourself well! I would say that for a programme that is meant to be part-time (so, one would assume this is aimed at those in work), I was disappointed to find that all the workshops take place in the day, usually around 10am, and although you are able to watch them outside of this, it is underlined that you will not receive the full benefit of the live session. Thankfully I have been able to work late to accommodate the sessions but I did feel the balance could be improved with some sessions being in the evening/weekends. However, that aside, the tutors are knowledgeable and excellent and I feel I am getting a really high standard of teaching, especially bearing in mind the lower fee compared to other providers.
