Overview
This course is for those who wish to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales with the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) pathway and have already passed SQE1 (or are exempt from sitting it). This course combines our well respected SQE2 Preparation Course with our SQE Plus programme to equip you with the practical legal skills required to pass the SRA’s centralised SQE2 assessment and additional knowledge from studying the SQE Plus content. The SQE Plus content contains a choice of three modules in key practice areas that law firms highly value, including elective modules in corporate and commercial or commercial and private client. In addition, you may choose to study our well regarded Business of Law module which focusses on the commercial realities of being a lawyer and developing relevant professional skills, or a Professional Research Report focussing in depth on one of your chosen key practice areas. This course is designed for those who have completed SQE1 training, such as our SQE1 Preparation Course, and successfully passed the SRA's SQE1 assessments. *See Terms and Conditions for full details
