WHY THE LEARNING IS FREE

A better-prepared industry is good for everyone.

We employ and place statutory position holders. The preparation is free because we would rather the whole industry was better prepared, and because some of you will want to work with us one day.

There is no catch. The law book is open to everyone; a free account keeps your progress and your records.

  • Free learning stays free.
  • Your records are yours. Export them any time; locked records stay locked.
  • Plain language, with the provision cited.
  • No pressure. No streak shaming, no countdowns, no surprise renewals.
