LPC upgrade to LLM? - Training contract and trainee solicitor information and resources

I have been thinking of upgrading my LPC to an LLM at BPP to 'boost' my cv and help secure a training contract/benefit my legal career after (altho im not sure how). I have a 2:1 from a decent uni and currently working as a fee earner paralegal. So basically I am wondering if it is worth the £2,500 price tag?

Any thoughts?

As an LLM provider, the BPP have a nil reputation, and it wouldn't stand up to Oxbridge or London LLMs. However, for 2.5K it seems quite a bargain to end up with an LLM, and presumably it doesn't involve a 12 mth course of full-time study...go for it.

No, LLM is generally a waste of time and money (apart from some specialist ones). Spend the £2.5k on something nice for yourself instead.
