The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is a crucial step in your journey to becoming a qualified solicitor in England and Wales. With the introduction of the SQE, aspiring solicitors now face a more standardised pathway to qualification, but this also means navigating a new and challenging exam format. Choosing the right SQE preparation course is key to your success, and in this post, we’ll explore what makes our SQE programme the ideal choice for aspiring solicitors.

What is the SQE?

The SQE is divided into two parts: SQE1 and SQE2. SQE1 tests your knowledge of legal principles, while SQE2 assesses practical legal skills through a series of simulated tasks. Passing both parts is essential to qualifying as a solicitor, making thorough preparation absolutely vital.

The Benefits of Combining Study with Pro-Bono Work
