Re: BPTC 2012 1 Re-Sit rationale????(Original post by Bar None)
Because the course is not the cause...
Why has such an unusual 'HEALTH WARNING' been issued?
Has it been issued in order to counter any future claims against the BSB and/or the institutions (etc) by 'damaged' ex students?Last edited by tammy2012; 20-07-2012 at 21:23. -

Re: BPTC 2012 1 Re-Sit rationale????More fool them (the students) for believing that they are capable of obtaining pupillage surely. Yes the system is flawed, I think we should go down the route of limiting places a la medical students at university, but if a good proportion of people weren't so delusional then the problem wouldn't be so acute in any event.(Original post by Wildman)
I'm surprised you are all railing against tammy. It is clear that the BPTC is a massive scam. Most of you seem to be apologists for a deeply flawed system.
Take a long look at yourselves. If you think the right thing is to take thousands from students who will never get a pupillage then you would make excellent patsies for the providers.Last edited by scavo86; 20-07-2012 at 21:13. -

Re: BPTC 2012 1 Re-Sit rationale????I actually think that most of us agree that the BPTC providers should be doing more to filter students who do not have a realistic prospect of obtaining pupillage. But any suggestion that BPTC providers are the sole cause of the problem of excessive numbers of BPTC graduates in nonsense. Providers can only accept students on to the course who actually apply. By definition those who apply for the BPTC are well educated law graduates who should be capable of researching their career paths and making well informed and realistic decisions. Those who apply for the BPTC who clearly do not have the ability to become a barrister must also bear some of the responsibility for the choices that they make.(Original post by Wildman)

The recruitment policy of BPTC providers is far from perfect, but it is far from the sole cause of the problem. The BPTC is not a 'scam'. Nor do the majority of the criticisms that tammy is making against the cause have any weight behind them at all.
