Thinking About the SQE? Start Here

Date: 13 October, 6pm

Considering qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales but not sure where to begin?

Join The College of Legal Practice’s Student Recruitment Team for an introduction to the SQE route to qualification.

Joined by Jane Waddell, Head of Curriculum Development & Design, we’ll explain how the SQE works, what the exams involve and what you need to know about Qualifying Work Experience (QWE).

We’ll also look at how you can prepare for the SQE and how The College can support you through your preparation, from structured learning and practice to getting ready for the exams.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • The SQE route to qualification
  • What SQE1 and SQE2 involve
  • What Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) and when you need to gain it
  • How to approach preparing for the SQE
  • How The College can support you through your preparation

Whether you’re just starting to explore the SQE or already planning your route to qualification, this session will give you a clearer picture of what to expect and how to get started.

You will also be able to ask any questions that you have.
