Candidate comments
“Overall I think the work based learning pilot has enabled me to enrich my knowledge and hone my legal skills as well as increase my confidence and ability to deal with a variety of legal matters, recognising what the issues are and how to resolve them, as would be expected of me as a solicitor. I feel the work based learning programme should be the future of training forwould-be solicitors.”

Employer comments
“I am very impressed with the new method of training which can only be to the general benefit of the profession. We now have a framework against which to judge the competence of a trainee, and clear evidence on which to base our decisions at the end of their training contract.
This is a definite improvement on the existing system with increased consistency and the driving up of standards across the board.”
Julie WalkerPartner, Freeth Cartwright
