Commercial Law Academy

A truly invaluable course! Easy to navigate and understand.

I am applying for vacation schemes for the first time at the moment and I have just submitted my first application. This course has been instrumental in the efficiency and confidence I was able to write with. It elevated my knowledge and skills so quickly and was so easy and fun to complete! I really recommend this for anyone looking to improve their writing style and wanting to know what is best to write in applications!

This is a very insightful course that's straight to the point. As an applicant, understanding the perspective of a recruiter is very helpful.

The course is clearly laid out and the concepts are explained very well - Jake's personal touch discussing his own experiences is particularly refreshing! Also, the motivations question section is brilliant and has really developed my confidence discussing my experiences.

This course provides excellent advice and support to candidates who are considering or are starting their applications. Regardless of where applicants are, this course provides critical advice to all stages of the application process.

This course is a great tool to navigate the complex world of law firm applications. Jake gives you a fresh perspective as to how one should approach the applications and I feel far better prepared to embark this application season than ever before. Highly recommend!

Jake has an outstanding teaching style that not only provides you information but reminds you why specific information is important. Learning the rationale for why teamwork skills for example are valued in corporate firms, and how to draw out the competencies most desired by specific firms, really aided me in the interview process and in securing my training contract. I regularly revise this course (coupled with the Training Contract handbook) as I navigate my current in-house role as it serves as a good reminder that what is said during the application/interview process has to reflect in my work for good workplace relations + the best outcome for clients

I really enjoyed this course, since taking it I have managed to pass the application stage more than once. I am yet to secure a training contract or vacation scheme but firms that rejected me last year have progressed my applications this year. This course definitely helped!

Sufficient detail and practical tips on writing successful applications. Thank you for giving us examples on how we could tackle various part of the application.

I used the writing successful applications course throughout drafting my application. The course offers clear, comprehensive advice on the key application questions from motivation to competencies including how to best structure these and overall tips to keep at the forefront of your mind. The course overall is user-friendly, informative, and gave me a confidence in drafting my applications, understanding better how to convey myself and my interests to graduate recruitment in a reasoned and interesting way.

The Commercial Law Academy’s course on writing successful applications is a game-changer. It breaks down every aspect of the legal application process with clear, actionable tips that made my CV, cover letters, and personal statements far more compelling. The focus on tailoring applications to specific commercial law firms was invaluable, and the expert advice from industry professionals gave me the confidence and strategy I needed. This course transformed my approach and is a must for anyone serious about a career in commercial law!
