The London branch of Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Law at Kaplan Law School, has been given the Law Society's highest rating for its Legal Practice Course (LPC) in all assessment categories.
Kaplan Law School's City campus was awarded top marks in each of the six categories after a three-day assessment carried out by Chancery Lane.
The six criteria are: teaching, learning and the curriculum; assessment; students and their support; learning resources; leadership and management; and quality assurance and enhancement.
The new rating means Nottingham Law School's LPC continues its record as the only course of its type to have received the highest possible rating from the Law Society every year.
It opened its City branch in conjunction with Kaplan – a subsidiary of the Washington Post Company – in September last year. The school has exclusive arrangements with law firms including US outfit Mayer Brown.
In November, rival law school BPP was also awarded top marks in each category for its own LPC. BPP is the sole provider for the City LPC consortium comprising Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herbert Smith, Lovells, Norton Rose and Slaughter and May.
The private sector education provider recently won a new contract from the consortium and is in the process of developing a new LPC to come into effect from September 2009.
