The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is the stage of vocational training for those intending to qualify as solicitors. It is usually taken after completing a qualifying Law degree or the Common Professional Examination (CPE).
The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s website has highly comprehensive information regarding LPCs and all the providers, which can be found at: www.sra.org.uk/students/lpc.page.
We have compiled a short table of some of the providers but it is by no means an exhaustive list.
