Continued Learning - Professional Skills Course

The Professional Skills Course (PSC) builds upon the Legal Practice Course (LPC).

The PSC provides training in three subject areas:

• Financial and Business Skills
• Advocacy and Communication Skills
• Client Care and Professional Standards

Each subject area forms part of a compulsory core, which entails face-to-face instruction. The assessment scheme for Financial and Business Skills includes an exam.

Forsters has formed a training consortium with two other firms, Bircham Dyson Bell and Boodle Hatfield which organises training via Fresh Consultancy to deliver the core modules during the first year of your training contract in-house.

Second year trainees are required to attend 24 hours of electives. Trainees can choose to attend public courses run by the College of Law or BPP or a combination of both.
