Part B tutors for the professional stage of qualification.
World-class preparation for Singaporean and overseas graduates alike, taught by tutors who have qualified and practised, and who know what the Part B examinations demand.
From legal knowledge to professional judgement.
Part B is where the Singapore Bar shifts from what the law is to how lawyers use it. Run by the Singapore Institute of Legal Education (SILE), it consists of a compulsory preparatory course followed by examinations, and is taken by every candidate, local and overseas.
The syllabus centres on the practical and ethical realities of practice: how disputes move through the Singapore courts, how transactions are structured and documented, and what the professional conduct rules require of an advocate and solicitor.
Our Part B tutors are practitioners and senior legal educators. They teach procedure as it actually runs, sharpen your drafting and advocacy, and prepare you for the style and pace of the examinations.
Typical areas of Part B support
- Civil litigation and procedure in the Singapore courts
- Criminal litigation and procedure
- Corporate and commercial practice
- Ethics and professional responsibility
- Dispute resolution, including arbitration and mediation
- Practice management, drafting and legal writing
The exact modules and assessments are set by SILE for each session. We tailor tuition to the current course structure.
Professional realism, intellectual depth and exam strategy.
Part B candidates are often already working or completing training. Our sessions are designed to be efficient and practical.

Part B: common questions.
Who takes Part B?
Part B is taken by every candidate seeking admission to the Singapore Bar, whether they graduated from NUS, SMU or SUSS or from an overseas scheduled university (after Part A). Candidates must be Qualified Persons, and must attend and complete the Part B course before sitting the examinations.
What happens if I fail a Part B module?
SILE’s current rules require candidates to pass all modules within four consecutive sessions, failing which the course must be repeated. Failed papers are re-sat in a later session, and there are no supplementary examinations or appeals. Getting it right first time matters.
Is Part B tuition useful if the course is compulsory?
Yes. The Part B course moves quickly across a wide range of practical subjects. Private tuition helps candidates consolidate procedure, practise drafting and answer questions in the style the examinations expect, particularly when they are juggling other commitments.
What comes after Part B?
After Part B, candidates complete the supervised Practice Training Period with a Singapore law practice before applying for admission as an advocate and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore.
