What is Bar Transfer Test?

(BTT)
The Bar is a demanding profession. The purpose of the Bar Transfer Test(BTT) is to enable candidates who are qualified lawyer
to have the opportunity to transfer to the Bar of England and Wales, without having to undergo the full course of education and
training as required in the Academic stage (qualifying law degree or conversion course) and Bar professional training course
(BPTC)

BPP University law school is the approved learning provider of the BTT, delivered on behalf of the Bar Standards Board (BSB).
Full support is provided by Somerville International to prepare for the extensive course.

Why should one choose BTT?

You can become a Barrister by studying in Bangladesh. You only have to go take the papers and attend a certain number of
dinners at the Bar. The route is incredibly economical and involves only a small amount of time. A competitive lawyer, with
approval from the BSB may become a barrister by taking the BTT only.
