Benedict & Avery Global

I can honestly say Benedict and Avery delivered what they promised. The training gave me a solid foundation and the three months of shadowing gave me experience I can actually put on my CV. I’ve now moved into a permanent role as a paralegal assistant, and it feels like the program gave me a foot in the door that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

I recently completed the program with BA Global and secured a junior paralegal position at a firm in London straight after. I don’t think I would have landed the job without the structure of the training and the work experience combined. Employers really liked the fact that I had already shadowed a solicitor and could talk about real situations, not just theory.

BA Global’s program stood out to me because it wasn’t just academic. They emphasised employability right from the start. The solicitor placement was tailored to me, and I came out of it with a strong reference. Off the back of that, I’ve managed to secure an interview for a paralegal role and feel prepared to walk into it with some real-world understanding.

I wasn’t sure whether to commit to the course at first, but I’m glad I did. Benedict and Avery made the process straightforward and the support was there whenever I needed it. The shadowing experience has been the biggest confidence boost for me because I finally got to see how things run in practice. It made all the difference to go beyond the textbooks. .

The training side of things with BA Global was well-structured. I liked how each module built on the last, so by the time we got to more complex legal drafting, it didn’t feel overwhelming. The online portal was easy to use, and the feedback on assignments was quick and detailed. It felt like actual preparation rather than just ticking boxes.

For me, the highlight of Benedict and Avery’s program was definitely the placement. I was nervous at first, but the solicitor I shadowed was patient and gave me insights into how a paralegal supports their workload. I got to sit in on meetings and help with drafting simple documents. By the end of the three months, I felt like I had a clear idea of what working in a law firm really involves.

The paralegal course at Benedict and Avery covered so much more than I expected. From legal research to understanding contracts, it was all there. The tutors were approachable, and I could always email them when stuck. I didn’t think I’d enjoy the coursework as much as I did, but it was actually engaging. I’m now two weeks into my placement and it’s clear how much the training prepared me.

I had been looking for a practical paralegal program for months and most courses I found were purely theory. What stood out about BA Global was the work experience part. The training itself was solid, but it was the three-month placement that made the difference. It wasn’t just observation either, I was given tasks under supervision and had feedback sessions, which helped me improve quickly.

Benedict and Avery gave me my first real taste of legal work and I’m glad I went through them. The placement was in a small but busy law firm, and I was shadowing a solicitor almost daily. I saw everything from drafting letters to sitting in on client calls. It gave me a real confidence boost that I could actually do this type of work, rather than just read about it.

I signed up for the paralegal training with BA Global earlier this year and honestly didn’t know what to expect. The training modules were structured clearly and the tutors actually broke things down into everyday examples, which made even the heavier parts of law a lot easier to grasp. After the training, I was placed with a solicitor for three months and that’s where it all clicked for me. Watching cases move from paperwork to actual client discussions made me realise how much goes on behind the scenes.
