Whether you're aspiring to become a solicitor through the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), aiming to excel in financial advisory with CeMAP and DipFA, or pursuing a career in immigration advice with OISC Level 1 & 2, our expertly crafted courses pave the way for your success.
The SQE is divided into two key stages: SQE1 and SQE2.
SQE1 focuses on legal knowledge, testing candidates through
multiple-choice questions covering subjects such as business law, property law, and the legal
system of
England and Wales.
SQE2 assesses practical legal skills, including client
interviewing, advocacy, case and
matter analysis, legal research, and written advice. This part of the exam requires candidates
to
demonstrate their ability to apply legal knowledge in practical scenarios.
To qualify as a solicitor under the SQE framework, candidates must: hold a degree or equivalent
qualification in any subject, not necessarily law, pass both
parts of the SQE assessment, complete two
years of qualifying work experience (QWE).
QWE can be gained in up to four different legal organizations
and in various forms, including paralegal work, placements, or legal clinics, and demonstrate
suitable
character and suitability, ensuring that all qualifying solicitors are fit to practice.
