As a not-for-profit organisation, our first priority is our students. The ICCA Bar Course is focussed on enabling students to achieve the best of themselves, from the quality of education and skills training we provide to supporting you to achieve success in securing pupillage and entry into the profession.
The Vocational Stage of Bar training, formerly referred to as the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC), was reformed in 2019 following the Future Bar Training consultation. The following year, in 2020, the ICCA was authorised by the Bar standards Board to launch our new and innovative approach to training to become a barrister.
Since our first students started in September 2020, ICCA students have delivered exceptional assessment and pupillage results. 80% of our 2021 graduates have secured pupillage and our students achieve the highest BSB centralised assessment pass rates across all Bar training providers. As a diverse and supportive community, the ICCA attracts students and career changers from over 50 universities and from numerous professional and cultural backgrounds. We look forward to welcoming you to the two-part ICCA Bar Course.
