D Distance Learning

Since 2022 DeltaPatents has been offering this unique Paper D distance learning course for candidates preparing for Main Exam Paper D. This course not only includes our DI and DII Methodology (1 day DI Methodology and 2 days DII Methodology), but also gives candidates the opportunity to gear up their legal level by augmenting and deepening the knowledge acquired during the Pre-Exam Legal training to a level of EQE Main Exam. To achieve this, we use the Main Exam Paper D Questions and Answers book as homework and present more advanced legal subjects.
