Hi all,

Just wondering when people received their FE-1 results letter, did they receive one for each sitting, or a simple letter confirming that they passed them all?

Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a prep course for company law?

I started city colleges and I don’t want to judge too soon but I’m not enjoying this lecturers teaching style. 😅

TCPIP · 15-06-2022 7:50pm

Is the lecturer still Mark Curran?

swankyslug · 15-06-2022 7:57pm

No it’s not - it’s a new person. I loved Mark for Equity, which is why I chose city colleges again 😭

Can anyone planning to start the Hybrid in January 2023 shed some light on the fees?

I thought it was €8,300 for PPC1 and €4,500 for PPC2.

But I see on the application form (aside from the €840 application fee) it asks for a Hybrid fee of €10,500... is this just for PPC 1??

I am paying my fees myself and slightly freaking out.

Can anyone advise please?

Im feeling the exact same. I registered for city because I thought Mark was the lecturer. Trying to give it a chance 😃

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119212696#Comment_119212696

As far as I’m aware, €10,500 is for the whole of the PPC Hybrid and it has to be paid by November if you’re starting it this year!

fe1ki5 · 17-06-2022 1:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119214555#Comment_119214555

Thanks for clarifying.

I suppose on one hand it's great its a reduced fee - not so great its all due at once though 😅

law2021 · 17-06-2022 6:24pm

I’m in the same boat! I thought Mark was brilliant for equity and not finding company as easy to follow.

fe1234 · 17-06-2022 11:12pm

Planning on sitting equity, tort, contract and company in autumn. Just finished my law degree so I don’t plan on doing any of the prep courses. Does anyone have any materials for these subjects? Past exam papers/ sample answers etc. going to try get the recent manuals.

Pc_law · 19-06-2022 10:40am

Hi everyone,

For company, would anyone know where you might get a second hand copy of Courtney’s book or have people passed without using it?

Also, is it necessary to have any other legislation other than the Companies Act?

Thanks a mil!!

The library at the ILAC has a reference copy of it and the Keane on Company Law.

Only the Companies Act is needed legislation wise. €100 to buy. I passed first time and have my copy to hand. I don't want any money for it (will settle for good karma) and the postage paid! So if you need it DM me.

catonafence · 20-06-2022 10:25am

Morning,

Does anyone have a copy of a Criminal manual they are willing to share. Ideally soft copy. I can buy or swop. I have manuals and materials for Company, EU, Property, Tort, Equity and Constitutional.

stressystressy · 20-06-2022 11:31am

Does anyone know when the rechecks will be available? I can't get answer from the LS :(

T.Chunter164 · 20-06-2022 3:13pm

If you PM me your email I can send on the e-manual

Dancing Obsession · 21-06-2022 4:48pm

I got an email asking for feedback today - seems like there might have been a few complaints because I’ve not been asked for feedback for any others 🤔

Pc_law · 23-06-2022 3:00pm

Would anyone have an up-to-date criminal grid? I have other materials to swap! Thanks

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119240210#Comment_119240210

No better really. I watch them from home and I can’t engage. My homework feedback hasn’t been great either, the lack of grading or actual criticism has me worried.

What about you?

Mulroche · 23-06-2022 6:40pm

Selling tort, criminal, property, equity, contract and eu city colleges manuals together with legislation for all of them which is tabbed for the exam, will include Google drive with grids, exam qs and reports also

SJ108 · 23-06-2022 10:50pm

Hi folks, has anyone done the Company Prep Course with LawSchool? What is the consensus on Elizabeth-Ann Kirwan BL?

I did my first set with City, but the above posts on the absence of Mark Curran have me concerned.

Any input from anyone doing/having done Company with LawSchool is much appreciated. Cheers!

fe1fi20 · 23-06-2022 11:32pm

Hi folks, does anyone know when rechecks are out?

fe1ki5 · 24-06-2022 11:39am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119241379#Comment_119241379

I sat Company with Mark Curran and passed and my friend sat Company via Elizabeth-Ann Kirwan BL and failed - said she did not find her very good and she just read verbatim from the book and gave no analysis on how to tackle the exam other than studying everything.

That being said, (with the exception of Company) I have used Law School for all my exams and have found their manuals really good and their Revision Guides priceless!

law2021 · 24-06-2022 11:50am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119240223#Comment_119240223

I'm the same. Getting quite concerned at this stage that I can't follow along, especially since this exam is meant to be quite tough.

SJ108 · 24-06-2022 11:54am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119242838#Comment_119242838

Cheers, thanks a million for your input. It would be ideal if Courtney himself did a prep course just talking about himself and his publications as it seems a sure-fire way of passing. Might just default to past exam questions and pick up his book. A real shame about Mark Curran.

Additionally, in response to your above post Re: Recheck Results - when I submitted mine, it said that the "results of recheck applications are provisionally scheduled during the week beginning Monday, 28th June. As soon as the date for the publication of results has been finalised, [they] will email candidates with this information". I took a screenshot of it at the time, as we all know the Law Society can leave it be.

Creg12 · 24-06-2022 12:57pm

I’m doing it with her but as I’m doing directors at the min I’m watching last terms lectures. If she says ‘ok’ one more time I will scream and ‘alright’

she explains nothing and is far to reliant on the manual - she just Reads it …

it’s that bad I’m just reading the manual myself and moving on because she’s useless to be frank.

maybe she plans on doing exam analysis later on and how to approach questions but I don’t hold out much faith. Waste of money and time but more than anything I feel lost at sea so worried and frustrated. I think I’ll be doing the exam without her classes

Creg12 · 24-06-2022 1:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119242917#Comment_119242917

Maybe students could ask city to put up Last terms recordings to complement the new person

independent did that few yrs ago although they are still flogging a dead horse in the race

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119242917#Comment_119242917

I have the manual from City (few scribbles in it) but happy to give you it if you want it.

I found going over past papers for company to be the best idea. that and his examiners reports - he literally tells you how he wants you to answer it!

That and pulling a few quotes from his book.

Lawlawblahblah · 25-06-2022 2:37pm

Hey guys! Does anyone know if we can register for exams yet? Can't seem to find it on the Law Society website anywhere. Thanks so much!!

Lawlawblahblah · 25-06-2022 2:39pm

Also I'm selling the following Law School manuals for €20 + Postage:

Constitutional 2021
Criminal 2021
Equity 2021
Tort 2021

I have lots of study material too that I can pass on with the manuals.

fe1time · 25-06-2022 8:51pm

Hey guys, I've a bit of a weird question. How do you study for multiple FE1s at a time? I've done four so far, but took them one by one since I was doing my masters but in September, I'm going to do my last four (Constitutional, Tort, Criminal and Company). I know I've got enough time to study them but I'm a bit stuck on how to divide my time, so any advice would be appreciated!

T2020 · 27-06-2022 5:52pm

Has anyone done company prep course with independent colleges? If so would you recommend it?

Was planning to do the prep course with city colleges but thinking twice about it now that i see mark curran is gone

28-06-2022 1:34pm

Hi Guys

I have fe1 constitutional exam papers and solutions from 1999-2010. I'm looking for more recent ones. Does anyone know where I can get these from?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119265508#Comment_119265508

They've ignored my emails and anytime I get put through to the FE1 section on the phone it goes straight to voicemail. The wait is awful.

SFarrepl · 29-06-2022 12:15pm

Anyone have the March 2022 Paper for Company?

T.Chunter164 · 30-06-2022 2:30pm

One of FE1 group chats I was in said people started receiving rechecks now - they email you directly so I’d say everyone will get them in the next few days
