Mylegalenglish’s online course system has been developed to allow clients gain the maximum improvement in their legal English in shortest period of time.
It will require effort but if you follow our system we can guarantee you results that will help you:
-
get better marks in your legal English exams;
-
allow you to successfully access the international career that you want
-
to perform better at work.
Ideally, each course segment should be studied over a seven-day period, with the exam at the end to be taken on the following day.
Thus a ten-segment course should be completed over a twelve week period. Of course this depends on how much time you have available and it may take longer if you have less time.
