Overall, my experience was good, I had the support I needed from Billy and my tutor. the only issue I see is that you have to pay for the tests if you want them done ASAP after you finished course.

The course is designed to guide any individual with non-law qualifications a good understanding of the legal system of England while highlighting how the law differs in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It also gives non-law qualified individuals intending to pursue a career as a paralegal, a fair guidance on what they are expected to do in that role pointing out their limitations as well. For individuals with legal qualifications, the materials can be a good source for revision of their knowledge on the subjects covered during their LLB, BTC and LPC; and also gain understanding of subjects which probably wasn't chosen as an option in these courses like family law, probate and wills, conveyancing and licensing laws.

A Lifesaver for Aspiring UK Paralegals

I recently completed the CPD Accredited Paralegal Practice Management Course offered by Bradstone Allington, and I must say, it was a game-changer for my career in the UK legal field.

As a foreign qualified lawyer navigating the challenging landscape of securing a paralegal position in the UK, I found myself trapped in the classic chicken-or-egg scenario—needing experience to land a job, but unable to gain experience without a job. That's when Bradstone Allington reached out to me, offering a solution that seemed almost too good to be true—a CPD accredited comprehensive paralegal course coupled with a guaranteed work placement upon successful completion.

The programme, tailored for beginners like myself, proved to be the perfect bridge between my existing legal knowledge and the specific demands of the UK legal system. The course was comprehensively designed, covering a vast array of legal topics and providing an in-depth understanding of the skills and expertise expected from a paralegal by UK law firms. One of the standout features (for me) was the guaranteed work placement.

What sets this course apart is its practical approach. It not only imparts theoretical knowledge but also hones practical skills crucial for success in a paralegal role. The Tutor Support Team was knowledgeable and supportive, creating a learning environment that fostered growth and confidence.

I would recommend Bradstone Allington Paralegal Practice Management Course to anyone looking to kickstart their legal career as a paralegal in the UK. It's not just a course; it's a lifeline for those stuck in the paradox of needing experience to gain experience. Bradstone Allington not only provide the knowledge and skills but also a tangible pathway to employment in the competitive world of UK law firms.

lots of unpleasant experience here

I paid 2495 GBP for the course three weeks ago and I should get a tablet as you offered from a choice of paying in full for a complimentary tablet (or a discount). As I have quit your training programme for good and cannot get any refund, at least you should give me the tablet that I have the right to have. I have asked your colleague to deal with this, but he just asked me to remove my previous reviews here. I do not want this issue to end in the courts. So please handle this issue correctly.

Neeracha, the tablets are sent within 30 days, I’m not sure why you are maliciously spamming our reviews when we haven’t done any wrong doing to you. You started the course then changed your mind but weren’t eligible for a refund. We have been willing to help you with a solution with the course by giving it to your friend as you suggested. You are now just ignoring us whenever we reach out to you.

My experience of Bradstone Allington!

My experience of using Bradstone Allington was perfect. What really impressed me was the transparency of the process as from the beginning each step was thoroughly explained to me in detail and even throughout my learning my tutor was on demand anytime answering any questions i had no matter how small or trivial. I was really impressed on how quick the process moves aswell and how the modules are really insightful and making me learn something new which i really valued. I would really recommend this company as it helps you gain valuable industry skills and experience.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the positive review and appreciate your recommendation!

Michael contacted me about the course

Michael contacted me about the course, I applied via Instagram looking for practical training in accounting.
My dream was to become an accountant so I needed the experience. Michael helped me join and everything went well with the Sage training and the work placement really helped me a lot working under a chartered accountant. Where my issue is was the job offer salary! I was expecting at least 30-35k a year however they offered me £25k. In Ghana I was an accounting I had so much experience so I found it ah insult to offer me £25k.
Bradstone allington then secured me a trainee accounting job at £23k a year which is a lot worse than the first offer. I decided to take it but I’m extremely disappointed I really hoped for over £30k especially with the experience I have from my home country.

Hi George,

Just to confirm is this George-Burrow Boateng?

Sorry to hear you are not happy with the service. Just to update you that in the UK, the average salary in London is around £25k a year for a trainee accountant. Unfortunately the experience you gained in Ghana is not seen as relevant UK experience.

Even though we have helped you secure a job around £23k a year, see it as a stepping stone to build your UK experience and then eventually you can progress later on. The hardest part is getting your foot through the door in the UK.

I hope you can understand and our goal in the programme is to help you with training, experience and securing a job.

One of the best training courses for aspiring accountants

The training programme has allowed me to learn new skills that will reinforce my qualities as an accountant, with those 2 softwares being the essence of the professional field.
Bradstone Allington has supported me along the way and my thanks goes out to the tutors as well as Allan and Shanay for checking in with me regularly.

Wouldn’t recommend anyone joining

I completed my course, work experience took long and they didn’t not have mich choice like they claimed to have. They have not completed my cv which I was informed it would be done 8weeks ago. They take your money and fail to keep their side of contact. Wouldn’t recommend anyone using this company.
