Exam overview

Pupillage is the final, work-based stage of training to be a barrister in England and Wales, completed in a set of chambers or with an organisation such as the Government Legal Department or the Crown Prosecution Service. Vacancies are advertised on the Pupillage Gateway, the Bar Council's online system for aspiring barristers to apply for pupillage. Most Authorised Education and Training Organisations (AETOs) recruit through the Gateway, where each application has the Bar Council's standard questions, and an AETO using the Gateway can add up to seven questions of its own; some ask candidates to apply to them directly.
