Testimonials
-
"Barbri were fantastic for preparing me for the SQE1 exams which I passed first time so I had high hopes for this and Barbri truly delivered. Instead of it being a session which operated as an imposter syndrome 'bandaid' it provided key tools and understanding which we could take away a deploy outside of the session."
-
"Thoroughly engaging session, that was equally gentle on the participants (avoiding those awkward, "rabbit in the headlights" moments so often experienced in online sessions). "
-
"The course was helpful and explanatory for the sector we work in and outlined interesting theory to be used in practice."
