Legal Training Australia has released an all new Capstone Preparation Programme for students attempting to pass the Capstone, with their head trainer, Accredited Specialist Immigration Lawyer, Christopher Levingston, to host the small group workshops at his Sydney office.  The following content will be covered.

• Capstone Format
• Allocation of marks
• Exam strategies
• Examiners expectations
• Preparing for the exam
• Sample questions for each of the relevant modules
• Preparation for the oral exam
• Preparation of materials for the "Open book"

Now there is some hope in sight for people aspiring to become Registered Migration Agents, but failing to pass the Capstone.  This has been especially difficult for some people, after paying up to $22,000 for the entry-level course, then $2,750 for the Capstone (first attempt), then $2,200 to re-sit the Capstone (second attempt).

It is understood that there is a Capstone exam in August 2019, so the Programme in July will be suitable for this group.

The first two programmes are running over the weekend in July and September 2019.  For more information click here.

Seats have already started selling within the first hour from release, such is the demand for this preparation programme.
