Meet Osama Jibril, a compliance associate based in Abu Dhabi. He’s a certified Anti-Money Laundering (AML) specialist, and having done SQE Prep with BARBRI, a proud alumnus. In this post, Osama shares his journey towards pursuing dual qualification and how BARBRI helped him along the way.
Why BARBRI?
When I decided to pursue dual qualification, I knew I needed a program that would work for me as a full-time professional. Balancing work, study, and life can be challenging, especially in demanding fields like legal compliance. I needed something that was flexible, structured, and intellectually rigorous. That’s when I came across BARBRI, a global leader in legal education that provided the perfect solution for my needs.
A Flexible, Structured Approach
One of the things I appreciated most about BARBRI’s SQE Prep program was its flexibility. As a busy professional working in the regulatory field, I didn’t have the luxury of dedicating my days entirely to study. The program’s structure allowed me to study at my own pace, fitting lessons and assignments around my full-time role. This flexibility was crucial, as it gave me the opportunity to learn without the pressure of a rigid timetable. The course was well organised, with clear learning objectives and a comprehensive set of materials that helped me stay on track. The structured approach not only helped me manage my time effectively but also ensured that I was getting the most out of the program.
Support With Every Step
What truly set BARBRI apart was the full support system they offered. Beyond the study materials, I had access to a network of mentors, tutors, and fellow students who were all committed to helping me succeed. This community-based approach made a huge difference in my learning experience. Whenever I had a question or felt uncertain about a topic, I knew I could rely on the support system to get the guidance I needed. The personal feedback I received from BARBRI’s tutors was helpful. They didn’t just provide answers—they helped me think critically and develop my legal reasoning skills. Whether it was exploring the nuances of English legal thinking or understanding how common law and civil law jurisdictions intersect, I gained deeper insights that I continue to apply in my career today.
International Impact of BARBRI’s Curriculum
Another aspect that stood out to me was BARBRI’s global perspective. As someone working in Abu Dhabi, I appreciated the international approach they took towards legal education. Their commitment to providing a program that addresses the needs of professionals in different parts of the world allowed me to gain a more rounded view of legal practices and regulations. The global nature of BARBRI’s curriculum was particularly valuable as I navigated complex legal issues. Whether advising on regulatory matters or supporting leadership on multifaceted legal issues, the knowledge and skills I developed through BARBRI have been directly applicable to my work.
Applying What I Learned Every Day Today
I continue to apply the knowledge and skills I gained through BARBRI in my day-to-day work. As a compliance associate, I deal with complex regulatory frameworks and constantly need to strengthen my legal reasoning. The training I received through BARBRI helped me build the confidence and expertise I need to excel in my role. What’s more, BARBRI’s focus on supporting working professionals allowed me to strike a balance between my career and my professional development goals. I was able to continue progressing in my career while working towards my SQE qualifications, and that has been incredibly rewarding.
Why I Recommend BARBRI
I’m incredibly proud to be a part of the BARBRI alumnus. Their commitment to helping students balance their goals with the realities of working full-time in legal and compliance roles is unmatched. If you’re looking to elevate your legal career internationally or expand your qualifications, I highly recommend BARBRI’s program.
