FIRECREST TUTORS RESIDENTIAL COURSES

Firecrest Tutors specialises in providing courses for trainees wishing to qualify as patent attorneys. All its courses are limited to small groups of trainees, typically a maximum of ten and involve the active and continuous participation of those trainees, i.e. there are no lectures. Those courses aimed at professional qualifying examinations (JEB and EQE) focus on a methodology for passing the examinations rather than simply working through past papers.

The courses offered are:

JEB

• One and three day courses on Paper P2;
• One day courses for each of Papers P3 and P4;
• One day, three day courses on Paper P6.
• For qualifying as a UK Patent Attorney.

EQE

• One day courses on each of the EQE papers A, B, C and D for qualifying as an European Patent Attorney.

CORE SKILLS

• Five day courses in imparting to trainees the basic patent attorneys skills of drafting and prosecuting patent applications before the various Patent Offices, particularly the European and UK Patent Offices.

VENUE

Firecrest courses are normally held at the Chalk Lane hotel in Epsom, Surrey www.chalklanehotel.com. Epsom is a small market town approximately twenty miles south of London, the site of the world famous Derby racecourse. It is within five miles of Junction 9 on the M25, easily commutable by rail from either London Waterloo or Victoria stations and equidistant from Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

However Firecrest will continue to provide in-house courses at employers’ and trainees’ work locations where this is preferred which can provide significant cost advantages to employers.

One to One courses are also available.
