Tests generally

After the training day you will be asked to sit a test paper.  It is designed to take 1½ hours.  It has to be sat on the weekend of the training day for the subject to which it relates but you may choose where and when, during that weekend, that you sit it.

The test will contain a legal scenario and some questions. It is a rigorous test aimed at testing your ability to interpret a piece of legislation and apply it to a legal scenario.

You must sit the test paper within a year of attending the training day in that subject. You are allowed one resit in that year. If you have not passed it within that year, you must attend another training day in order to be eligible to take the tests again. For example, if you attend the autumn 2009 employment training day, you must pass the employment test at the first or second attempt in autumn 2009 or winter 2009/10 or summer 2010; if you still have not passed, you must attend the autumn 2010 employment training day in order to be eligible to sit the employment test (and to re-sit it once if need be) within the academic year 2010/11.

If you plan to attend the autumn 2010 training day, you will be eligible to sit the test that same weekend. Details of how to do so will be available nearer the time.

If you attended the summer 2010 or the winter 2009/10 training day and need to take or re-sit the test, we will email you with details of the arrangements when they have been settled.  This email is likely to be sent at about the time when the next set of training days is announced.

If you attended the autumn (September/October 2009) or a prior training day and have not yet passed the test, you will need to attend another training day in the relevant subject before sitting a fresh test.
