"We chose MBL for our PSC requirements as they were able to deliver an in-house fast track solution tailored around our trainee induction programme. The quality of training and standard of customer service was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to other firms. "

Vicki Simpson, Principal HR Manager, Freeths LLP

Matthew Waters

Cooper Stott Solicitors | Durham

Even though we still have one day left, I wanted to express how grateful I am for Alastair Hodge's sessions. His delivery has been clear and engaging, his humorous anecdotes bring the material to life, and his overall teaching style makes the sessions both enjoyable and highly informative. He has a great way of keeping everyone engaged while sharing practical insights that genuinely build confidence. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his teaching.

Sam Main

Hatch Brenner LLP | Norwich

Thank you ever so much for providing me with this Certificate. MBL Seminars have been a truly wonderful and informative experience, and I wish to thank the MBL team for their swift and efficient service in providing these courses. I look forward to partaking in future courses, and when that time arises, I will be sure to get in touch.

Gemma O’Brien

Your assistance and cooperation throughout my training certainly made the process a lot easier and I am grateful for your help. I would certainly recommend MBL to any person who is undergoing their training contract or is interested in expanding their knowledge in certain areas of law.

Georgia Purcell

PSR Solicitors | Chester

All of the tutors have been excellent and all showed a genuine interest in what they were discussing. The MBL team have also been really helpful, providing quick responses whenever I had had an issue, so thanks again!

Lizzie Neale

Clifton Ingram LLP | Reading

I have genuinely enjoyed the PSC Courses. For Advocacy, Alastair Hodge has added another fan to his club. His teaching style is so incredibly engaging; and in the context of some Court experience during my time as a Family Paralegal / in my Litigation seat, it was great to understand some of the inner workings of the question types and preparation that is involved. For Finance, David Potts has such a calm demeanour which assisted greatly in discussing the technical regulations. He was patient with questions and gave insightful real-life examples which made the content more relatable. Lucy and the team at MBL are great too. Being contactable and on hand for support is a great relief when calendar clashes come up or there are any tech issues par for the course with remote learning. 10/10.

Amelia Ormerod

Wrigley Claydon | Oldham

I have really enjoyed the PSC and all the subjects that I studied. I think that the course is really well designed and very flexible for students who have to work full time, like myself. I particularly enjoyed the Advocacy and Communication Skills with Alastair Hodge. I thought Alastair was very entertaining and interesting. Excellent at teaching as well. The staff at MBL have been brilliant so I just want to say thank you so much for all your assistance and support.

Beth Umney

Thank you for all your assistance on getting through the course. I would like to say that you have been exceptional throughout. You have dealt with any query I have had quickly and resolved it. You have also had a nice and supportive attitude towards my learning, which was nice to know that you aren’t just another number doing the PSC course. Alastair Hodge on the advocacy module was brilliant. He was very enthusiastic over the three days, honest about advocacy and what to expect in real terms if we were to proceed to go into that. The modules are easy to access, and the instructions are clear what you need to do on each of the modules. The certificates also arrive quickly after completion.

Natassia Brown

FG Solicitors | London

I recently completed the PSC course with MBL, and it was an exceptional experience. The content was thoroughly thought out, and the tutors were passionate, which made a significant difference in my learning journey. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Working with Lucy Blair was a pleasure. As a trainee solicitor, juggling a heavy workload along with the PSC can be overwhelming. However, Lucy’s responsiveness to my queries and her assistance in obtaining the necessary information were invaluable. Her frequent updates on my courses kept me on track and significantly reduced my stress levels.

Nina Walia

Gibson & Co | Newcastle upon Tyne

I can’t honestly thank you enough for all of your support. You have been absolutely amazing and patient too!!! All of the lecturers were fantastic and helpful. I couldn’t fault them. Alastair made such a daunting module very enjoyable and he puts you entirely at ease. David Potts was also amazing. He was willing to help at any point and explained the whole module thoroughly. I just would like to thank you all.
