"I've been a conveyancer for years so the conveyancing module was quite straightforward. The landlord and tenant module was really useful. I thought the accounts module would be my downfall. But the way it was broken down into manageable sections made it surprisingly easy to learn. I've just passed, and I'm applying to CLC for my license soon! Overall, it's a great course with great support. Highly recommended!" - Francesca Isaac (2024 Graduate)
