What Our Alumni Say
Studying with ATC has been a memorable experience. As the class rep of the 2021/2022 cohort, I experienced first-hand the high standard of ATC’s support system. The technical support whenever situations arose during hybrid classes were fast & management of the Facebook group ensured that class materials were not missed out. Classes were enriching & inspiring. The positive atmosphere in every class just made learning with ATC a much more enjoyable experience.
Sebastian TanCLP 2021/2022 
My experience of studying CLP with ATC is that it was memorable and fun. It was not one-man journey. The interaction between the fellow classmates as well as the lecturers do reduced the amount of stress I felt. I’m feeling grateful that I actually met good classmates who willing to share their knowledges and provide support to each other.
Tan Gai NiCLP 2022/2023 
I definitely could not have made it this far without the lecturers. The lecturers at ATC are superb. They answered any questions posed by the students. They prepared their materials well before class. They made sure that the students follow what they were teaching. They were also very caring and always had the students’ best interests at heart.
Fong Voon YukeCLP 2021/2022 
I am no stranger to ATC. I began my journey here in A-levels followed by my LLB & then CLP.I was most satisfied with the CLP lecturers as they were all very knowledgeable & had a lot of experience in the field as most of them are practicing lawyers. They were always ready to answer questions. I’d like to especially thank Dato’ Kevin Joshua who shared his experiences & Mr. Ravi for the interactive classes every week.
Rebecca MarshallCLP 2021/2022 
I loved the fact that the classes were live & recorded at the same time. I’d like to thank ATC for constantly updating their lecture notes & class recording list. Without this, it would have been difficult for me to revise & study.
Nurul Idayu Binti HarunCLP 2021/2022 
I want to thank the coordinator Ms. Kashmir & all lecturers for their dedication in making sure we got most of the subjects they taught. The lecturers were genuinely caring & often motivated the students in the way they knew best. The revision classes covering past years’ questions were very helpful. The hybrid mode of delivery, physical and online, surely was a good approach as the students could choose the mode that suited them best. I attended both the physical and online classes and made the best of these options!
