‘Having studied the GDL at a different provider, I found Kaplan’s approach to teaching refreshing. The biggest difference is the level of personal contact that tutors afford their students. They are all approachable and on hand to help should you have not “got” a particularly difficult concept in class. Also, the fact that Kaplan has a smaller campus means that you end up knowing most of the people on the course really well, which helps you get through what can be a tough course.

‘With regards to my training contract at Bird & Bird, you get to meet all the other people from your intake and work with them before your training contact starts. The value in Bridge To Practice comes from getting used to working with your peers in a setting similar to the one encountered whilst training.’
