Quotes from IPDP Fellows:

'The International Practice Diploma provides lawyers with an excellent opportunity to obtain practical knowledge on a variety of legal topics, which subsequently broadens your professional expertise. I feel the course of study required to obtain the IBA Fellowship was substantive and truly helpful in furthering my level of knowledge and expertise in the area of international law.'

'The IBA International Practice Diploma Programme provides an excellent overview of the law in several key areas.  I found the course material to be well written and it allowed me to study the subjects at my own pace.  The formative exams were very helpful as were the comments and feedback received.  The Programme has provided me with an opportunity to review areas of law which are not my key areas of practice and has enhanced my ability to deal with foreign lawyers.'
