This is the first STEP course I have attended and unfortunately I do not feel as though the workshops provided me with much in terms of learning. It was largely focused on the specific answers which I felt was more learnable through reading the material itself. I do not feel as though the course was set up for the individual to be 'exam ready'. Other than being directed to the example answers we were not taught how to answer / structure the exams questions to get the best possible marks. Having workshops once a month for an extended period is not the best way to retain information for the exam. I understand previously the model had been to complete a 5-day workshop in the week leading up to the exam which is a much better way to retain the content. Having the course delivered online is not the most practical way for learning as there is too many opportunities for distractions, lack of focus for others on the calls, interruptions, lack of engagement, etc. I honestly feel as though the workshops offered very little value, and if I were to spend that time studying on my own I may have learned more. Considering the large study / exam fee we are paying per course I was disappointed with the output.
very structured course! i particularly like the first part of Q&A to activate our thought before course starts. thanks Robin, very patient and considerate tutor!
My overall experience with the STEP course has been excellent. As a STEP student with a law degree, trusts is not a subject that is new to me; however, I have found the course to be both engaging and valuable in strengthening and expanding my existing knowledge. The course is well structured and focuses clearly on the key areas relevant to the Certificate. The material is presented in a practical and accessible way, which makes it useful for those with an existing legal background while also allowing students without a law degree or prior knowledge of trusts to understand and engage with the subject matter. Overall, I have found the course informative, well organised and a valuable learning experience.
Robin is a great instructor. Covers everything thoroughly. Provides fascinating insight into questions. He is very well versed in this area and conveys it to us students very well.
Helpful introductory module for someone new to the industry. Robin contributed greatly to the great experience I'm having in the course. Would love to see him in my future modules with STEP
As an entry level learner, I found the content and the teaching approach are too academic and theoretical. To some extent, it's hard to understand the teaching content and study material. It would be better to adopt a more practical approach rather than a rigid theoretical frameworks for the entry level learner. On top of that , the website is not user friendly and old fashion from user experience perspective. For the inquires, we are unable to recieve the prompt response in a timely manner which caused the delay and inconvenience.
