Why Choose Our SQE and QWE Combined Course?

In today’s competitive market, standing out is crucial, and our SQE and QWE program ensures that your CV highlights your specialized knowledge and skills.

Understanding the Importance of Qualifying Work Experience (QWE)

To qualify as a solicitor under the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) framework, you must complete two years of full-time (or equivalent) Qualifying Work Experience (QWE). Our course offers you the opportunity to meet this requirement while building substantial professional experience.

How to Complete QWE

One of the biggest advantages of QWE is its flexibility. You can complete it before, during, or after taking the SQE assessments, allowing you to tailor your experience to your professional goals. Some of the ways you can fulfill QWE include:

  • Securing a traditional training contract in a law firm.
  • Gaining experience as a paralegal.
  • Volunteering in a legal advice center.
  • Undertaking legal placements as part of a law degree.
  • Using relevant experience from previous legal roles.

How QWE is Structured

QWE can be completed in one continuous block, such as a two-year training contract, or in multiple stages at up to four different organizations. For example:

  • Six months of pro bono work in a legal advice center.
  • Eighteen months as a paralegal in a law firm.

Combined, these experiences meet the two-year QWE requirement, demonstrating your ability to work in diverse legal settings.

Signing Off QWE

QWE must be signed off in accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requirements. Typically, this responsibility falls to:

  • The Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP) or a qualified solicitor within your workplace.
  • A nominated solicitor outside your organization with direct knowledge of your work. (The solicitor does not need to hold a practicing certificate.)

Why Real-World Legal Experience Matters

In today’s legal industry, professional experience is a key differentiator. Employers are looking for candidates who have practical legal skills and a solid understanding of real-world casework. By joining our SQE and QWE Combined Course, you will:

  • Gain practical experience in a specialized legal area.
  • Develop legal skills and insights that give you an edge over other candidates.
  • Build a strong, targeted CV that showcases your professional expertise.

Having real-world legal exposure enhances your confidence and ensures you are well-prepared for legal practice. This is what makes our SQE and QWE program unique—it gives you the opportunity to gain firsthand legal experience while studying for the SQE.
