About PSC
Complete your legal training with the PSC
With the BPP PSC, flexibility is key when it comes to what, where and how you learn –
allowing you to fit your studies around work and life commitments.
You can choose the fast track option and complete the core modules in succession – or stagger the core and elective modules
throughout the two-year training period.
Fully Flexible study
The PSC is designed to work around you. Choose from a wide range of modules in locations across the UK.
For example, you could attend the fast track core module course in eight days, and opt for the fast track electives over four days,
completing your training over a shortened time frame. Or you can choose your core modules and electives at any time throughout your
two year training contract whenever it is convenient for you.
Tutors
Our tutors are experts and have been practitioners in their fields. They're dedicated to providing teaching that is practice focused –
aimed at giving you the specialist skills and knowledge needed for a successful transition into real-life legal practice.
Higher Rights of Audience Option
As part of your elective requirements you can opt to study the Higher Rights of Audience programme. Successful completion of the assessments leads
to the Higher Courts Advocacy Qualification which enables you to act as an advocate in the Senior Courts of England and Wales.
Practicing advocates, as well as BPP staff (solicitors and barristers) provide the teaching for this option, drawing on their expertise and
real-world experiences to equip you with practical skills and knowledge as well as preparing you for the (optional) assessments.
In-house PSC option
If you're a firm sending a number of delegates to the BPP Professional Skills Course, it may be more cost effective
to run an in-house PSC. For more information call 2020 060 3333 or email.
Entry requirements
The PSC must be completed as part of your compulsory training, during your training contract. You must have started a training contract before
you can study the PSC.
