Outstanding Achievements of ICCA Bar Course Students

Congratulations to our recent graduates

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our latest cohort of Part Two students, all of whom have worked so very hard. Between them, they have earned over 400 individual Distinction grades in their skills modules.

22% of our cohort achieved the ultimate overall grade of a Distinction, and 57% achieved a Merit grade, which means they had an average score of up to 79% overall. Coupled with the amazing result of our students in their BSB exams in December 2024 and April 2025, we could not be more proud of them all.

In particular, we would like to recognise the outstanding achievements of the following students who receive prizes from our generous Chambers sponsors:
