Preparatory Course for the law Society of ireland’s final examination – Part one (entrance examination)
“Independent Colleges may have brought the prep courses to Dawson Street…
but Griffith College is bringing them to your computer screen…
anytime, anyplace, anywhere”
• On-line OptiOn• live at COllege green• live at griffith COllege
New additional City Centre location www.gcd.ie/fe1citycentre
this enables students to keep up with their study at their pace and from convenient locations. our own statistics indicate 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 as far away as Cambodia have been able to keep pace with our live students and can watch and re-watch any point in any lecture as much as they want. Studying in this way, alongside with our unequalled manuals has
proven to allow students to take on these exams without compromising their existing lifestyle.
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 a 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.

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.
the fee for undertaking the course by on-line / distance-learning is €350 per subject or €2,500 for all eight subjects.

Griffith College offers a specialist and intensive tuition programme to prepare candidates to sit the law Society’s fe1 exams – the first step on becoming a solicitor. Candidates should note the revised timetables for the october 2009 exams which leave less time than ever before between papers. Not only that, but everyone has noticed the shift in emphasis on the fe1 papers towards requiring deeper understanding of the law. the “learn off a manual by heart” approach just isn’t enough. Now more than ever and with competition fierce, advance preparation is vital and that’s where we come in!
our services are second to none. We offer the most flexible timetable possible including a completely online option. Students are free to switch between online study and the three live venues. No other provider can give students this ability to work around existing commitments whether professional, personal or family. 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 7 days with detailed feedback (with 98% of actual returns occurring within 4 days). More details are contained in this brochure.
