Indentures and Profs

    Rookie question here :

    I was talking to a person from a law firm in relation to training contracts and they mentioned 'sorting out indentures and profs'. They were talking about somebody who had just passed their FE1's and is due to start in Blackhall in September.

    What does 'sorting out indentures and profs' mean? As I am asking this question, I know myself that I will look back in a while and be embarrassed that I did not know what this is.

    Many thanks in advance!

    "Indentures" is what they used to call training contracts (https://www.lawsociety.ie/Trainees/In-office-Training/Indenture-Deed/).

    I imagine "profs" might refer to the professional practice courses done at Blackhall?

    Before there were training contracts, there were indentures of apprenticeship. They are the same thing, essentially.

    Before there were 'PPC1' and 'PPC2' there were 'the Professional Course' and 'the Advanced Course'.

    I've never heard of the term 'profs' in relation to Blackhall but it seems like a possibility.
