First of all congratulations for your ...Hi Raquel,<br /><br />First of all congratulations for your blog, I found it really interesting!<br /><br />I have one doubt, maybe you can help me, I am currently an "Abogado" (I'm living in Barcelona) and I'm about to move to London. I want to do the QLTS and from what I have read so far I need to send a "certificate of good standing" to the SRA, to be able to start the process. What is the name of the certificate in Spanish? I know it sounds odd, but I am an italian and Spanish is my third language..<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance!<br /><br />Moltes gracies,<br /><br />Valeria Gentile Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182560066791827548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-37685090904222936202012-04-03T03:32:03.413-07:002012-04-03T03:32:03.413-07:00Hi there,

So now I am getting ready for the TLST and OSCE which will take place in September this year. You should check this out: www.kaplanqlts.com/ I am sure you'll find it useful. <br />If you've got any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. <br /><br />Many thanks, <br /><br />Raquel RodríguezRaquel Rodríguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012917589553398814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-34617841266632494732012-04-03T03:04:59.884-07:002012-04-03T03:04:59.884-07:00Hi L,

I wonder whether you have taken your MCT in June. Similar to you, I have got a LLM in London but not LLB. So, how are you doing with studying for the MCT and have you taken the OSCE and TLST?<br /><br />Thanks for your reply in advance.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17670282651244455735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-61897216510705490142011-10-29T15:43:31.205-07:002011-10-29T15:43:31.205-07:00Hi Raquel,

I have got 2 masters in Law, of which one is a LLM at University College London. So I should be used to studying in English. And there being no lectures should be fine as well, as I wasn't a examplatory student, a.k.a. I skipped a lot of/most lectures, henceforth had to study on my own. Nevertheless, my knowledge on Common law is not that extensive, as I don't have an UK LLB.<br /><br />But as you said, its all about personal commitment.<br /><br />If I take the test (MCT), it would be for June, as its too late (imo) to do it in January. How are you doing with studying for the MCT?<br /><br />Kind regards, <br /><br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-57517041629133290452011-09-22T10:40:52.173-07:002011-09-22T10:40:52.173-07:00Hi there,
It's my pleasure! Regarding your q...Hi there, <br /><br />It's my pleasure! Regarding your question I don't really feel comfortable telling people what they are or are not capable of doing. Before making any decision you should consider these points: <br />What your background in Common Law is;<br />You will be studying in English. There aren't lectures or fellows to speak with. It will be you and the materials. Hence it requires personal commitment. <br />When do you want to take the assessment? Based on that you could come up with a study timetable and see if it's manageable. <br /><br />I find the QLTS more challenging than I expected. According to my experience taking some time off before the MCT exam might be a good idea. You have commented me that you are working for an English Law Firm. Why don't you explain to them what your thoughts are? They might be able to help you with some training and maybe even time off. <br /><br />I hope you find this helpful. I'd love to give you a straight answer but unfortunately things aren't always black and white. <br /><br />I am sure there are many people studying for the QLTS part-time. I've done it myself for a while and may have to do it again if I find an internship. So I encourage you to go for it! Please let me know if I can help you with anything else. <br /><br />Raquel RodríguezRaquel Rodríguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012917589553398814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-75929505773192472822011-09-22T01:15:59.427-07:002011-09-22T01:15:59.427-07:00Hi Raquel,

Although, I work as a full time lawyer in an english firm at the moment, but in brussels. Do you think it is feasable to work and study for the QLTS at the same time? If so, how much prepartion time you think is needed for the MCT?<br /><br />Kind regards, <br /><br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-22794308597285382262011-09-10T09:16:18.274-07:002011-09-10T09:16:18.274-07:00Hi there,

I booked my course with the QLTS School. Since I have not seen any other materials from a different school I can not tell you what the best option is. However what I can tell you is that QLTS School is really expensive. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!! If you've got any more questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Keep checking out my blog!!Raquel Rodríguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012917589553398814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4066148811083877574.post-3296691692923221222011-09-04T16:31:53.694-07:002011-09-04T16:31:53.694-07:00Hi Raquel,

Actually, I am still in the process of choosing training provider. I have been in touch with QLTS School and Central Law Training. The materials provided by CLT are less expensive, however QLTS School seems to be very active in the provision of training for the QLTS assessment. What is your opinion about the QLTS School's materials? Is it worthy spending the money. Do you of somebody already enrolled with CLT. Thank you very much for your help.<br /><br />Also, given your civil law background, it would be interesting if you post something about the difficulties you are encountering in your study because of the differences of civil and common law legal systems.<br /><br />Re the language skills for the assessments, I do agree with you that the preparation of the MCT will improve our vocabulary. Nevertheless, I find equally essential enhancing our conversation skills before sitting for the two following assessments. I have seen that both CLT and QLTS School offer face to face preparation specifically tailored for the OSCE and the TLST.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />BGRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
