A big thank you again for providing such brilliant revision seminars!

I attended all four intermediate seminars - Criminal, Contract, Public and CLRI - and found that the tutors consolidated a huge amount of information during the courses. I was able to focus my revision accordingly and had a much better idea of what would be expected of me during the exams. I can recommend your revision courses to any law student and will be sure to be back next year! Rachel Akodu, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

I really appreciate that I had opportunity to attend the Tort, Trusts and Land seminars. They were all brilliant and dealt with the key issues that students struggle with. The timing is absolutely perfect as well as they increase the level of confidence we need right before the exams. I have recommended the QED revision seminars and will continue to do so. Wendy Prince, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The analytical, tutorial style approach to the subjects was very effective. I know that many of my peers agree with me when I say that on the whole the QED lectures are more useful than the University of London weekend classes. They were very well organised and well worth the money. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The EU lecture was fantastic. The lecturer was very clear and gave some very interesting asides and opinions which I was able to recall in the exam. I found his structure easy to follow and that looking at particular areas in depth enabled me to gain a better understanding. I certainly would credit that lecture with the confidence that I felt when I turned the question paper over. Nicci Hilson, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The Criminal Law session was delivered really eloquently and at a decent pace (balancing depth of content with the number of issues dealt with within the timeframe). The Contract session adopted a very similar format - same depth and amount of subject matter. Personally, I wouldn't change a thing. In terms of content and delivery, it ran smoothly, and to a standard throughout. Gerard Lecain, LLB, University of London International Programmes

The Jurisprudence seminar was very good! I really liked the lecturer's teaching style and how she structured things. And I found EU very useful - great structure and content Kyle Tansey LLB, University of London International Programmes

As expected the revision courses - Land, Tort and Public - were very helpful. Thanks, Vicky Rebori, LLB, University of London

EU was very interesting and helpful. I would recommend it. And Land Law was very good. The lecturer provided systematic clarity which is what I needed. I liked the way he approached the topic. Excellent. Thanks. Robyn Henderson, LLB, University of London International Programmes

I found the Contract revision seminar very useful. Going through the variety of different questions that we might come across in the exam has made it easier to tackle revision on my own before the papers in May. Thanks! Krystal Lee, LLB, University of London International Programmes (2011)

Law of Tort: I thought that the seminar was excellent. It was exactly what I needed for last minute revision. Until now professors have been describing how we should answer the exam questions but Tracey was the first one to actually show us how to do it. She is a highly competent professor and I would definitely recommend the seminar to anyone who is studying tort.

Law of Trusts: I liked the seminar because we covered a lot of material and the explanations were great. The professor gave us some useful exam tips. It was certainly worth the trip to London. Anita Orav, LLB, University of London International Programmes

The Contract Law seminar was very interesting and useful. The Tutor went slowly, explained the issues carefully with practical examples, where she felt it was needed. Every question asked was adequately explained. I learned how to approach exam questions and structuring answers to contract law questions.

The Criminal Law Seminar was also very interesting and useful. It was worth the time and money investments, and I will not hesitate to recommend it to other students. The course notes contain valuable information, simple and very precise. I will book for your seminars for the rest of my University of London LLB Programme. Thanks very much for your hard work and for sharing your knowledge and experience. Kareem Sule Fuseini, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The Land seminar was excellent! It drew all the areas together in a simple way and made the subject easier to understand. Lilian Zihni, LLB, University of London (External)

Not only was the Criminal Law seminar excellent, it was brilliantly structured and made sense every single minute of the seminar. The examples given throughout the seminar were very helpful in understanding certain hard and confusing topics. As a London external student I found this seminar extremely helpful. A. Zaini, LLB, University of London International Programmes

Law of Tort: Now that I am doing my revision for my exams, my appreciation for your lecturer increases by the day. The notes are concise, brief and comprehensive. The practice questions are excellent - identical to my examination questions. The lecture was in perfect pace and Tracey's extensive knowledge and experience in the subject left me yearning for more when it ended. Together it is the perfect companion not only as preparation for examination but also enhanced understanding of the subject. I would give her a perfect score for her efforts, teaching and notes. Shannon Chun, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The Land Revision Seminar was very helpful, I was able to consolidate my knowledge and apply what I've learnt over the year in a more structured and focused way. As a result, I feel much more confident about the forthcoming exam! Kizianne Roberts, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The Law of Contract seminar was interesting, helpful and very competently presented as was the Public Law seminar. It was my pleasure to attend! Jewel Jones, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

Contract, Criminal, CLRI and Public: I must tell you that I found the revision courses to be exceptional and very very helpful. Please thank all lecturers on my behalf. Each lecture was fantastic and I plan to make them again next year if all goes well. Emily Smith, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

I enjoyed the Land Law seminar and would definitely recommend it. The lecturer was enthusiastic (which was refreshing considering Land Law isn't the most riveting subject) and I came away feeling less daunted as it helped me tie it all in together. The 'table' has been useful as it has helped me structure my revision a nd using the framework he provided for answering questions will no doubt better equip me for the exam. Thank you very much, Niluka Vitanachy, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

I thought that the seminars for all three subjects, Trusts, Tort and Public Law were extremely good and well worth the trip over from Gibraltar. The tutors were amazing. Leanne Turnbull, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I'd just like to drop some feedback about this year's revision seminars. I felt that your Criminal Law lecture was exceptionally useful - in particular, that run down of s. 47, s. 18 and s.20 offences plus the various burglary - related offences was very clear and I could remember it well during the exam. The CLRI and Public law lectures were also good. I'm pleased with my exam results for these subjects - a big thanks to you for the brilliant lectures. Karin Kuhlemann, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I would certainly recommend the seminars (and I have done so!). They are helpful and provide one with that last minute insight in how to actually structure the exam script. Thank you for organising them! Fizza Kadiwal, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The Criminal law seminar was fantastic. It really helped to pull the whole syllabus together just before the exam and allowed one to get a "birds eye view" of the rather large body of work - something which is sometimes difficult when one is stuck in the detail. Miles Turner, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

"I am studying with the University of London External programme, and am independent. I do not attend any university, so these lectures were SO important to me. In previous years, I have attended the University of London’s revision courses. I found your format so much more beneficial than the two hour format offered with the UoL. The Tort revision seminar proved to be (by far) the most beneficial lecture that I have attended during my 3 years of study. I found the lecturer's style and delivery excellent, and her revision technique has enabled me to consolidate and revise in a more relaxed way. Best money I have spent. Many thanks." Jane Webley LLB University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I would definitely recommend the Criminal law seminar. It was excellent, I was impressed with the amount of material covered and found the notes provided were very useful for revision. Summer Khan, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found both courses - Law of Contract and Public Law - very helpful. Many thanks for a very worthwhile weekend and all your assistance. Ian Bethell Bennet, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found all the classes very helpful in preparation for my exams and appreciate the quality of instructors, lectures and materials provided. Prof Black-Branch was also excellent at dealing with the CLRI yesterday. Busuyi Aroso, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

Thank you for hosting the QED revision classes. The revision classes were exactly what I needed right before exams to help me put things in focus and solidify my knowledge of Tort and Trust Law.

Tort - Tracy Aquino is a dynamic lecturer. Her guidance and approach towards answering exam questions was invaluable. One of the very best lecturers. Excellent revision, excellent coverage.

Trust – M. Ramjohn is a brilliant lecturer. He provided much needed guidance on tackling difficult topics and issues both in answering problems and essays.

I am so glad I attended and I do look forward to next year’s revision classes. The quality of the lecturers and the materials provided was superb. Again, many thanks for hosting this for us. Liz Cuff, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found the Criminal Law seminar very useful. It was easy to understand and exactly what you need before the exam. I have recommended all my friends to join. I am very impressed by the course materials and additional materials you provided after the seminar. And the way the lecturer conducted the Land Law seminar was perfect. Thank you very much. Regards, Devendra. LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found the Contract session very beneficial. The lecturer was well informed & prepared. Her talk was relevent,helpful & interesting. Katie Bryce, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found the Land Law seminar to be extremely useful. I was at the point where I knew the material but didn’t know how to apply it. So, the revision seminar took what was abstract and made it understandable and applicable to any form of question whether it be an essay or a problem. I feel confident that I can answer any exam question. Thank you for hosting QED and my thanks to the lecturer, I like his practical approach. Liz Cuff, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

The QED Revision lectures were excellent. This year I attended EU, Land, Tort and Trusts. The tutors were all very knowledgeable, current in their analysis and dealt with students' queries and problems very well. I felt through all the sessions that the tutors had a real desire to help us and had an excellent grasp on common problems for students within each syllabus. They approached the subjects from the point of view of what's important for the exam itself. This was very refreshing and much needed. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The class on EU was fantastic. The lecturer tackled the topic from a practical, real life perspective and everyone was very keen to hear his analysis. When I did the exam itself, a lot of what he had discussed came up on the paper - this of course was true of the other tutors too. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The QED Law revision seminars are excellent. They enhanced my knowledge, equipped me with strategy and boosted my confidence. The areas revised by the QED lecturers were similar to those tested on the actual exams. As a result, I was able to tackle and pass the exams with ease. S.Dee. LLB, University of London International Programmes (External).

The Trusts revision class was excellent. The lecturer is well grounded in the subject, and the delivery was flawless. The Tort revision class was a revelation. The lecturer simply demystified the subject and the strategy for taking Tort exams. Tony Ikemefuna, LLB, University of London International Programmes

I attended lectures in Contract, Tort and Trust. I found all three very useful and I am using the notes and exam tips made from all three seminars as the core of my study regime. Natalie Coley, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

Thanks so much for an absolutely amazing afternoon of Criminal Law revision. I found it very clear and informative and it structured my thinking. I also found the revision courses on Contract and CLIR extremely helpful. The lecturers were clear, helped focus on the essential issues and clarified a lot about examiners expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Morris Hazan, LLB, University of London International Programmes (2011)

The Jurisprudence session today was very good - especially the summaries of topics Summer Khan, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

I found the Law of Contract seminar very helpful. I learned a lot especially about how to approach questions in the exam and definitely feel more confident now about going into the exam. Thanks for everything,. Eimear Whelan, LLB, University of London International Programmes

I found the Land Law seminar very useful. The lecturer was very effective in flagging all the important areas within the 4 ½ hours - it covered all the key areas of Land Law. . Zarina Halim, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

I found the Public Law Seminar to be very useful and would certainly recommend it to anyone doing the subject. The seminar covered the main points of the subject and explained how they all linked up. Very beneficial for someone studying on their own to get the essence of the subject summed up before the exam. Steven Brading, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I attended both the Tort and Trust classes and found both of them very helpful in consolidating the course material. As an independent learning student who does not have the benefit of attending tutorials at an institution throughout the year, the approach used of applying the material to specific questions was particularly helpful. The Trust session in particular helped to clarify the application of some of the more difficult case law in the subject. I would definitely recommend the revision classes to others. Faith Graham, LLB, University of London International Programmes

I found the Criminal Law seminar very useful and, in fact, have already recommended it to someone for next year. I thought the combination of materials, seminar and answers worked well and what I found most useful were your comments regarding key areas of focus and suggestions for exam preparation. One of the things that I have found most difficult in Criminal Law is the amount of detail and the seminar helped to prioritise it and sort it into more manageable blocks. Jacqueline Gartland, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The courses you provide are excellent value for money and an integral part of revision strategy. I have happily recommended the courses to a number of students over the years. Nicci Hilson, LLB, University of London International Programmes (External)

"The seminars gave me an insight on how to actually write an examination paper, up to date coverage of the law, and finally, a refreshing enthusiasm. I am sure they contributed towards my 2:1." Islay Robinson, LLB,University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

EU Law: Fantastic! The lecturer covered the main points within each topic thoroughly. The revision course was extremely helpful.

Tort Law: Ms Aquino was simply brilliant in explaining how to apply concepts of Tort law, in a systematic and logical way to problem questions, which is really what is required at this stage prior to the exams. She was thoughtful in provided participants with a revision checklist for the different topics covered in Tort. I thoroughly enjoyed the seminar! – Many thanks. Hutokshi Crouch, LLB University of London International Programmes (External)

I thoroughly enjoyed the two sessions - Law of Contract and Public Law. They were inspiring and have provided me with the extra fuel needed for the last long lonely stretch. Thanks again. Sophia Nadur, LLB, University of London (External)

The Tort lecturer was absolutely marvellous.! Concise, straight to the point and more than what I expected! She helped me structure my answers and hopefully things will be good. Aurore Prefumo, LLB,University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found the Criminal Law seminar to be actively presented in a clear, coherent and organised way. It has assisted me well with my on going revision of the subject and made sense of the what I considered to be "grey" areas of the law. With Criminal law consisting of such a vast amount information, I felt you did a brilliant job condensing down the most relevant issues and conveying them over to us in such a short amount of time. Supplying us with additional materials was an added bonus and helpful with revision. I feel the seminar is imperative to attend for those students looking for a high mark in the subject and would highly recommend it. Heidi Cook, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

Trust revision was of the highest order. As promised, it was on examination technique and seminar discussion on how to deal with questions, build our confidence to convert knowledge into marks. KM Thye, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I found the Criminal law lecture last Saturday most valuable and certainly worth the experience. Was also refreshing to meet students from various other universities and chat through the issues with them. Having also purchased your recorded lectures I am well used to your lecture style and find it both clear and engaging. Val Crawford, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

"The Criminal Law revision seminar was excellent. The way that it was taught was very impressive and the materials are very useful. The Contract seminar tutor was excellent and the materials were also very useful." Jenny Leung, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I would like to express my thanks for the revision courses, they were excellent and it will certainly stand me in good stead in my exams. Fingers crossed I'll be back for some more next year. Richie O Flynn, LLB,Holy Trinity College in Cork Ireland, University of London (External)

"I thought that the Criminal law seminar was outstanding. The information about how to tackle Criminal law questions was so well presented and easy to follow. It complemented perfectly the very clear recorded criminal law lectures which I have found to be absolutely invaluable" Lilian Zihni, LLB,University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

Contract, Crime and Public: I have to say that the seminars were excellent, and I think that many people felt the same. Khandaker Rahman, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

It was a pleasure to attend the Criminal Law seminar. Even though I knew the material, I was not able to grasp the exam technique. After this session, I feel more confident. Karen Butler, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The Contract and Criminal Law revision seminars were very good and covered a wide range of issues. The logically structured approach helped me understand different issues in problem solving questions and was clear and precise to the point. Nathan Ramanathan, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The Criminal Law revision seminar was really very helpful. The explanation of the difficult points was clear, always getting to the core of the issues without losing sight of the big picture. One of the aspects I like of your class is that you are very sensitive to students needs and it shows in the way you address the topics. In short, learning doesn't stop at revision time, there is always an opportunity to capture some new aspect in a different light and to add some colour to a grey area... this is the healthy balance that your course brings about. Thanks! Vicky Rebori, LLB,University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

Thanks again for the support. The revision tutorials were very useful, particularly the Tort one with Tracey. All the best, Miles Turner, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

The Contract revision was excellent. The lecture was very clear and useful and I will recommend the course. Vicky Rebori, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)

I am so happy I took the time out to attend these seminars (Criminal law, Land law and Trusts). I have learnt so much.Thank you for putting together these revision materials and seminars. I have recommended them to other students to try and attend next year. Pat Wisdom, LLB, University of London International Programmes - (formerly the External LLB)
