GBSuper disappointed Super disappointed. I work full time and wanted to start early so I prepaid for the entire course and only then did they tell me they would not mail the materials for almost two months. When i did receive the materials they are so riddled with errors, five sections have digital notes because the printed versions were not updated prior to printing. There are even typos in the chapter headings. The printing quality sucks you can hardly read the graphs and charts. And the answers for the essays that you use for self grading actually misquote the facts from the fact pattern. The time log is constantly inaccurate, requiring me to go back and once again mark as complete assignments I have already completed. I am unbelievably frustrated. I am so sorry I went with Barbri. It is way too expensive to have all of these errors and distractions.

DEA huge thank you to Barbri A huge thank you to Barbri for providing me with all of the knowledge and support I needed to pass the SQE1, and a shout out to my learning coach Joanne White who was always there to help me when I needed it! I am so grateful for our regular catch ups through what can be a very daunting process.

GBSQE 1 and 2 - well organised and professional Studied both SQE1 and 2. Well organised and professional tutors. The best learning method - time spaced repetition. The highest pass rates....... However I would not study with Barbri if you have not studies law before as it simply does not go into enough depth. I would encourage any non law graduates to do a GDL first unless you have been a paralegal with lots of experience in many areas. For many reputable law firms the GCDL is a pre-requisite for NQs .

GBDisappointing Experience While I appreciate that the laws change, the books should be updated more regularly. I started the course Aug 2023, while my book was published in 2022 (No month published). There were 11 pages of supplementary notes with 25 days of updates and more than 50 amendments across different subjects. I am aware of at least one law change (9 months ago) that is not present in the supplementary information. While tests were helpful, some of the questions and answers were incorrect due to the above information. Questions and answers need to be updated in real-time. Response time to questions was good. The system did not always work. Sometimes, being locked out of course entirely and constant errors in loading tests. Lectures were sometimes very difficult to hear; the volume was too low. I will be looking elsewhere for SQE2 which is disappointing as BARBRI is supposed to be a 'Global leader in legal education'.

GBThank you Barbri! I’ve studied a 40-week course for SQE1 with Barbri. I passed both parts of the exam on the first attempt and I’m extremely grateful to Barbri. I really appreciated the personal study plan, unlimited access to great personal tutors, opportunities to ask questions and paper copies of the book. I will surely continue my education with them. Thank you, I’m forever grateful!
