SQE1: In-Depth Academic Preparation
Our SQE1 program is meticulously structured to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the legal knowledge required to pass the exam. The course is divided into two phases:
1. Initial 10-Week Programme
The first phase of the SQE1 course is a 10-week intensive program that covers every topic in the SQE1 curriculum in detail. Our qualified lawyers, who practice in the areas they teach, ensure that you not only learn the key elements of each subject but also understand their practical applications. This phase of the course is designed to build a solid foundation of legal knowledge, enabling you to approach the exam with confidence.
2. Revision Timetable
After the initial 10 weeks, the course transitions into a focused revision period. Here, you will engage with practice questions across all topics, honing your ability to apply your knowledge in an exam setting. This phase is crucial for reinforcing your understanding and ensuring that you are fully prepared for the SQE1 assessment.
Our SQE1 course is supported by an extensive library of learning resources, including comprehensive written manuals, flashcards, cheat sheets that break down complex topics into key principles, and multiple-choice questions (MCQs) designed to mirror the exam format. These resources are continually updated to reflect the latest developments in the legal field, ensuring that you have the most current information at your fingertips.
Flexible Subscription-Based Programme
We understand that each student's journey to qualification is unique, which is why our subscription-based SQE1 program offers unparalleled flexibility. You can train with us until you pass the exam, with the peace of mind that you'll never pay more than 11 monthly payments.
If you pass the exam before reaching this limit, you can discontinue your subscription without any additional costs. If you need more time, you can continue with us at no extra charge until you achieve success. This commitment to your success means that you remain part of our learning community until you qualify as a solicitor.
Real-World Experience Through Our Legal Clinic
One of the standout features of our SQE2 preparation course is the inclusion of a legal clinic where students work on real cases.
This hands-on experience is invaluable, allowing you to apply the legal knowledge you’ve gained in class to real-world situations. For example, our students are currently involved in reviewing a murder conviction with a view to making an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). This complex case involves intricate evidence such as cell site data, messaging records, and psychiatric evaluations. Working on such cases helps students develop a deep understanding of how to analyze and present evidence—skills that are essential for passing the SQE2.
In another case, our students are assisting a client who has been issued a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 following a criminal conviction for fraud. They are helping the client navigate the complexities of adjusting the order to reflect their changed circumstances. This experience not only prepares students for the financial crime aspect of the SQE2 but also teaches them how to manage client expectations and provide clear, actionable advice.

Track Your Competencies Against the Statement of Solicitor Competence
In our clinic, every student’s progress is meticulously tracked against the Statement of Solicitor Competence.
This ensures that you’re not only learning but also developing the skills required to be a successful solicitor. Our qualified solicitors provide supervision, guiding you through each case and offering feedback on your performance. This level of oversight helps you identify areas for improvement and ensures that you are fully prepared for the practical assessments in the SQE2.

Diverse Case Experience
Working on real cases means that you’ll gain experience in a wide range of legal areas.
For instance, our students are currently helping a client who has been charged with breaching a Community Protection Notice (CPN). They are assisting in appealing the CPN and liaising with the council to find a suitable resolution. Such experiences teach you how to handle disputes, negotiate with authorities, and provide effective representation—skills that are crucial for passing the SQE2.
