Testimonials

OLQE 2020

I passed all 5 Heads for the OLQE 2020 in one go while juggling a full-time workload. I have found the course material to be comprehensive, insightful, easy to understand and, more importantly, practical. I thought the course was well designed with relevant modules and information. They were designed to prepare the candidates for the questions they might encounter in the actual exams. The lectures, which were recorded because of COVID, were interesting, easily digestible and helped me progress at my own pace. Knowing how to properly apply the knowledge made me feel very confident and prepared going into the exam hall. The tutors' feedback were constructive and encouraging and the administrative staff at LexOmnibus were just superb. I am very grateful to Alfred, Davy, Donald, Justin and Senia. Do not be discouraged or overwhelmed by the seemingly impossible task of sitting 5 Heads in one go. These tutors have condensed 5 non-intuitive subjects into 5 simple curriculums. I would look no further than LexOmnibus if you intend to sit all 5 Heads.

OLQE 2020

Lex Omnibus does a great job distilling the overwhelming quantity of information in each OLQE Head into a structure that is much more manageable to grasp. With their help I was able to pass both OLQE Heads despite a Head I paper that focused on some unconventional issues (2020). The lecturers are very responsive to questions via email and have a genuine desire to help students understand the often difficult concepts. They also have a lot of experience marking the actual exams and this insight proved incredibly valuable.

OLQE 2018

Thumbs up for Lex Omnibus! Thanks to them, I passed all five heads of the OLQE - on my first attempt. Being an overworked full-time solicitor, I hardly have any time to prepare for the exam. If not for the brilliantly designed course and comprehensive course materials, I would not have done it. Besides, the course not only put me into a context in which I could grasp the essence of the content with ease but also help me acquire the exam requirements within a fairly short time frame. Thanks, Lex Omnibus

OLQE 2018

It was upon a trusted friend's recommendation that I enrolled in the preparation course in OLQE offered by Lex Omnibus. And she has not failed me! My experience is that to benefit fully from the course, one should really take the time to go through all the videoed lectures, which are excellently prepared and delivered. It is, in my opinion, an indispensable part of the course.

OLQE 2017

I sat five heads of the OLQE and, thanks to the excellent lecturers, responsive support staff, realistic mock exams and detailed course notes at Lex Omnibus, passed all my exams in one go. I was also working full time while studying. The notes, combined with the face-to-face lectures, were comprehensive enough that I relied entirely on the course notes and did not have to open one textbook on the OLQE reading list. I highly recommend Lex Omnibus!

OLQE 2017

It was a real challenge to juggle between work and study for all 5 papers for the OLQE 2017. With the help of Lex Omnibus and their well conducted online lectures and materials, I managed to pass all 5 of the required papers in one attempt. Special thanks to Professor Michael Wilkinson and Alfred who made the lectures entertaining and informative and further thanks to the well organised support team behind Lex Omnibus who were very efficient and well organised.
