Griffith is leading the way with online education. Every second of every lecture on the FE1 preparatory course is recorded and placed online within minutes of its live conclusion.

Griffith College and the Final Examination

Part One (FE1) Griffith College offers a specialist and intensive tuition programme to prepare candidates to sit the Law Society’s FE1 exams – the first step to becoming a solicitor.

Now more than ever and with competition fierce advance preparation is vital and that’s where we come in.

Our services are exemplary. We offer live lectures including a completely online option.

We have the most qualified and expert lecturing team versed in exactly what you need to pass these exams and have a coursework system that guarantees returns of coursework within seven days with detailed feedback (with 98% of actual returns occurring within four days.

Our online delivery enables students to attend lectures and study according to their own timetable. From viewing statistics generated during last term, it can be seen that a huge percentage of students are taking advantage of this new system to integrate their study into lunch breaks, early morning down time and other times that suit them. Students travelling away as far as Australia and Cambodia have been able to keep pace with our live lectures. Students and can watch and re-watch any point in the lecture as much as they want.

Our lectures are supported by a student intranet where students can post questions which are answered by the relevant course lecturer. We also have in place our dedicated tutor support system to allow students to submit course work on an ongoing basis (all designed around previous FE1 exam questions) to receive grading and feedback as the course develops.
