WHAT OUR PAST CANDIDATES SAY ABOUT US
I would whole heartedly recommend IP Learning to anyone preparing to take the OLQE.
I sat the OLQE in 2009 and actually changed providers to IP Learning half way through the Head III course. My only regret is that I didn’t start Head III with IP Learning from the very beginning.
IP Learning’s main lecturer, Colin Wright, was absolutely fantastic- he explained complex topics in simple terms and gave us excellent training on how to apply the law to the exam questions. The interactive style of teaching worked brilliantly and we were encouraged to ask questions and give honest feedback on the topics as we went along.
The course materials were well organised, very detailed and easy to navigate around. The 'update summary on recent case' at the end, prior to the exam, was a godsend, as was the mock exam that was created from scratch by IP Leaning and a real challenge/test run. Everyone based at IP Learning was very friendly and always had time for the candidates. What stands out about IP Learning if that they genuinely care and fully support their candidates all the way up to the exam, even holding extra revision classes at weekends when requested. They also contacted us after the exam to see how we had found it, which was a lovely touch.

IP Learning provide the best course for the Conversion Examination for PCLL Admission. IP Learning's Course allowed me to achieve first time passes in all subjection in the Conversion Exam. The Recorded Lectures, the Q&A Facility, the Course Notes, together with the brilliant Small Seminar Classes, allowed me to learn at my own pace and sit the exams with confidence.
Sidney Yankson PCLL Conversion Examination Candidate, 2009
I purchased the Course Notes and Recorded Lectures from IP Learning late last year, which ended up being the only materials I consulted with during the course of preparation for the Criminal Procedure conversion exam. Joyfully, and perhaps surprisingly, I've successfully passed the exam, which would not have been possible without the IP Learning's notes. They have rightly and adequately focused on the issues that need attention and are very exam focused and I would recommend it to any one planning on sitting the exam.
PCLL Conversion Exam (January Admission) Candidate, 2010
A fantastic course! Despite only signing up as a distance learning candidate five weeks before the exam, IP Learning got me up to speed fast and gave me all the support I needed to pass Heads 1-4 on the first try.
Robert Williams Distance Learning Candidate, U.S., 2009
I started IP Learning's Course as a distance student at the end of August 2009 and sat and passed all four heads less than two month and a half months thereafter. While I could simply say "res ipsa loquitur", I would add that IP Learning's notes, particularly those for Head III, will be of great use to me as a solicitor in Hong Kong and that I enjoyed the casual but extremely helpful revision sessions.
Caroline Thomas Distance Candidate, 2009
I passed all four Heads having studied with IP Learning by distance learning. The lecturers have an engaging style and the seminars were well planned and easy to follow. I particularly valued IP Learning's "summary" style notes which provide just the information you need to turn to quickly in the exam. I would thoroughly recommend IP Learning.
Nigel Sharman Stephenson Harwood, U.K., 2009
Thanks to the teaching received from Colin Wright of IP Learning. I passed the Constitutional Law paper of the Conversion Examination for PCLL admission. I would not have passed without the personal guidance I received in IP Learning's Small Group Seminars. The small Group Seminar format was an extremely effective way to learn. Colin correctly predicted and discussed in detail in the Small Group Sessions the topics which came up in the examination. The combination of the Small Group Sessions, Course Notes and Recorded Lectures was invaluable. I would definitely recommend candidates to enrol the course/personal tutorial from Colin Wright of IP Learning. Sitting the Conversion Exam is not my nightmare anymore!
Catherine Wong PCLL Conversion Exam (January Admission) Candidate, 2010
You do not have to reside in Hong Kong as a lawyer to pass the OLQE. The flexibility of the course offered by IP Learning enabled me to stay at home in Australia whilst I listened to the recorded lectures and email (email Q & A service) any questions I had. The IP Learning team worked tirelessly all the way up until the evening before the exam to address my concerns and to provide suggested solutions to possible exam questions. From the outset of the very first lecture the emphasis was on passing the exam. The interaction between the seminar leaders and the students is very personable. They really do care and given their vast experience know what it takes to get through the OLQE. With the help of the IP Learning Team I passed. I highly recommend the IP Learning Team to anyone who wishes to pass the OLQE whilst staying at home studying in Australia.
Greg Spain Distance Learning Candidate, Australia, 2008
IP Learning with their all-stars teaching crew was the major reason I passed the 2008 OLQE. Colin Wright is the very knowledgeable barrister that goes all out for his students. Ray Pierce is the charismatic policeman turned barrister that breathes life into criminal law. Together, they prepared me to face OLQE with utmost confidence. I recommend IP Learning with unreserved enthusiasm.
Charles Chan Wilkinson & Grist, 2008
What stood out for me was the quality of IP Learning's lecturers Colin Wright, Ray Pierce, John Brewer and Connie Carmichael. I'm not referring just to their CVs (which are impressive too), but to the sheer intelligence with which IPL's tutors aimed their courses at helping you pass the exams. It was so helpful to constantly be reminded of the ways in which information might be presented in exams and then, after being encouraged to think through answers first, being given suggested solutions. In tandem with this would be constant tips on how to get the 'easy marks'.
In addition, IPL are an all round smart organisation and the design of the whole program maximised my chances of passing. it was nice to see that everybody concerned was pulling in the same direction. The exams were incredibly stressful. I have no doubt that the exam techniques, assistance and knowledge provided by IPL were a major factor in me passing all four exams at the first attempt.
Ian Johnston Simmons & Simmons, 2007
"From the very first day, we were ridiculously pampered (DVDs to catch up on missed lectures, course administrators eager to clarify our doubts, comprehensive lecture notes) and well-fed (nice array of snacks to last those lectures). All that was really lacking was a chauffeur to drive us to class."
Boon Teck Yeo Herbert Smith, 2006
