I write to thank you for the excellent training program/workshop you conducted for us a few weeks ago in Cairo on 'Contract Drafting'. I have now had an opportunity to review the evaluation forms in detail and they all confirm the very positive feedback we got verbally. The grading across the board was between '4' and '5', i.e. very good and excellent. Participants used words such as 'lively and well structured', ' very beneficial', and 'perfect refreshment on basic legal information'. We look forward to more programmes in Cairo.

It’s with pleasure that I can recommend BLC to any interested party. I can confirm the session that BLC and Deloitte Baku ran together on legal writing for lawyers in the beginning of November 2012 was well delivered and we received great feedback from the students. Thank you and look forward to working together in the future.

I especially appreciate the information and advice you have provided during the seminar. I have gained valuable insight into the Anglo-Saxon legislation system over the seminar. I’m sure it will be very useful in relations with foreign companies. Also I’m very interested in the International Legal English certificate course and will be glad to participate.

The International Legal English Certificate has been created specially for lawyers by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL)

Internationally recognised
The exam is recognised by leading lawyers’ associations, including:
European Company Lawyers Association
European Law Students’ Association
International Association of Young Lawyers
European Young Bar Association.

Our specially written course prepares its students for work as lawyers in commercial law offices where English is the working language. Our live seminars contain 45 hours of lessons, plus additional home study tasks, including international legal research, to cement the participant’s ability to practice International law. This intensive legal English and law is designed to increase knowledge and ability to use legal English words and phrases correctly by requiring the participants to read, watch, listen and speak. The course also uses the textbook and C D's - International Legal English published by Cambridge University Press. The course is intended also as final preparation for the Cambridge University International Legal English Certificate (ILEC) Exam which is now held monthly in different cities around the world. Successful candidates are awarded the certificate from Cambridge University and it is accepted as an international legal qualification throughout the European Union.

Possession of the ILEC Certificate from Cambridge University is regarded as positive proof of the holder's ability to speak English to a level enabling them to practice law in an English-speaking law company anywhere in the world. You can find out far more about the exam and what it means to hold the certificate by visiting the webpages of our subsidiary company, Cambridge Legal English Centre, at www.clec.co.uk/cms/
