In the realm of legal education, the landscape is rapidly evolving. New SQE providers are emerging all the time.

The Freedom Law Clinic has been delivering clinical legal education courses since 2015. Our team is made up solely from qualified legal professionals who are regulated by the SRA. Our focus has always been on learning through doing: allowing students to apply their knowledge in the context of real-life scenarios. 

This is why the Freedom Law Clinic’s innovative approach to preparing students for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination 1 (SQE1) stands out: by combining SQE learning with practical experience.

Unlike traditional passive learning experiences, the Freedom Law Clinic offers a dynamic and engaging online SQE1 course which focuses on the application of knowledge. 

Active Learning: Beyond Passive Lectures

The cornerstone of the Freedom Law Clinic’s SQE1 course is active learning. This approach ensures that knowledge is immediately applied to factual scenarios, with repeated practice to reinforce comprehension. Gone are the days of passive video lectures—here, students actively engage in seminars where they apply knowledge and support each other’s learning journeys.

This is supplemented by a library of Multiple-Choice Questions so you can develop examination technique. Our MCQs are updated on a weekly basis meaning that even if you manage to work through the 1000s of questions on our LMS, new questions will be uploaded within 7 days. 

Community-Centric Seminars

Central to the Freedom Law Clinic’s ethos is its vibrant community of learners. Seminars are dynamic spaces where essential SQE curriculum ideas are communicated through active engagement and open communication. Students are encouraged to participate, share insights, and collaborate—a stark departure from solitary learning experiences.

Personalised Learning Journey

Upon enrollment, each student receives a designated learning plan aligned with the SRA’s SQE1 assessment criteria. Monthly one-on-one meetings with tutors allow for personalized feedback and assessment of knowledge gaps. This tailored approach ensures that students progress steadily towards exam readiness, reducing the risk of premature exam attempts.

Subscription Model: Pay for What You Use

Recognizing the financial constraints students often face, the Freedom Law Clinic adopts a subscription model. Students pay only for the content and resources they engage with, ensuring cost-effectiveness and eliminating unnecessary charges for non-essential knowledge. 

SQE1 preparation course can cost a lot – especially if you are merely being given access to pre-recorded lectures. Our subscription includes close supervision and bespoke learning plans to make sure you get the kind of supervision you need to pass. We don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone seeking to enter the profession. That is why we provide fully funded scholarships for students who need them.

Comprehensive Resources

The course boasts original written materials authored by experienced tutors and qualified lawyers. Additionally, a vast library of multiple-choice questions enables students to test their understanding comprehensively. This arsenal of resources empowers students to master the essentials of the SQE1 curriculum efficiently.

Ongoing Support and Supervision

A striking feature of the program is its commitment to close supervision and ongoing support. Tutors closely monitor student progress, providing detailed feedback reports and confirming exam readiness. This proactive approach aims to address the alarming 51% SQE1 failure rate by ensuring that students only attempt the exam when fully prepared.

Practical Experience: Qualifying Work Experience (QWE)

Setting itself apart from competitors, the Freedom Law Clinic integrates Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) into its SQE1 course. Students gain immediate access to practical opportunities within the clinic, enabling them to apply legal knowledge in real-world contexts. From assisting with housing and welfare cases to engaging in complex criminal appeals, students actively contribute to the community while honing their skills.

Advancing Career Opportunities

Beyond academic success, the Freedom Law Clinic’s course opens doors to exciting career opportunities. By engaging in practical legal work early on, students build a solid foundation for future professional endeavors. This proactive approach not only enhances employability but also cultivates a sense of purpose and community engagement among students. We have an excellent record of getting our online SQE1 students into paid employment. Our courses are often cited in professional profiles.
