Reviews

4.7

I liked that the simulation was very practical and closely reflected the type of work done in a real commercial law environment. The tasks were clearly structured and helped me understand how legal concepts are applied in practice, particularly drafting, reviewing documents, and managing transactions. It also improved my attention to detail and commercial awareness.

I really appreciated how the program provided a hands-on, realistic simulation of tasks I might encounter in a professional legal environment. The instructions were clear, and the step-by-step guidance helped me understand the process thoroughly. I also liked the opportunity to practice using tools like DocuSign, which made the experience feel very practical and relevant.

The dashboard and interface are user-friendly and engaging. The tasks were interesting and provided a varied insight into Real Estate Finance at trainee level. It would be great for further 'modules' or to be developed for other areas in REF to compliment the overall offering as this is an area that I am keen to develop in.
