What is the
SQE?

The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is a single, national licensing


examination that all aspiring solicitors must take before qualifying as English
solicitors, regardless of their professional background and qualifications. This
also includes qualified foreign lawyers who were previously required to pass
the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS).

The SQE assessments replaced the QLTS as the qualification route for foreign lawyers, which
is no longer in force. The QLTS has been successful in attracting many applicants from various
jurisdictions, who are now dual-qualified English solicitors.

The SQE is administered by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the independent regulatory
body of the Law Society of England and Wales, ensuring candidate assessment
is both rigorous and fair.

The purpose of the SQE assessments is to ensure that all candidates who qualify as solicitors
have the knowledge, skills and ability necessary to perform their role competently and ethically.

The SQE aims to increase consumer protection by providing greater assurance that all qualifying
solicitors meet consistent, high standards at the point of admission.

The SRA has published a competence statement which defines the continuing competences
it requires from all solicitors. Foreign lawyers are required to demonstrate that they have the
equivalent knowledge and understanding of law and practise in England and Wales in the same
areas as that required of domestic candidates.

The SRA have developed the SQE Assessment Specification, which is based on the solicitor
competence statement and forms the syllabus for the assessments.

How are you
assessed on
the SQE?

The full range of skills required to practise English law are tested on the SQE,
including oral, written and professional. The SQE assessments are designed to
test applicants on most of the solicitor competence statement and ensure they
meet the threshold standard and legal knowledge expected of a solicitor on
qualification.
The assessments are divided into two stages: The skills are assessed through 16 simulated
legal environments known as ‘stations’, which

Success Stories of QLTS School’s Candidates
who Passed the QLTS Assessments
Don’t just take our word for it – here’s what our recent candidates who passed
the assessments on their first attempt say...

Invaluable Resources, Complete Preparation


“I don’t think I would have successfully completed the MCT and OSCE,
without studying with the QLTS School. The materials they provided
were so beneficial for me, that it really prepared me to know what to
expect when it came to the exams. I would strongly recommend that
anyone who is considering taking the QLTS assessments, study with
the QLTS School.”

Flexible Study Options


“Preparation for the OSCE is different than the MCT. So reading textbooks
is not enough. This is where QLTS School’s tutors come into play by
making the preparation easier and running mock exams with you. I felt
well prepared when I came to take the assessments. I also like that this is
a self-study course and that you can practise over the Internet.”

Very Positive Experience, Extremely Helpful Tutors


“My experience with QLTS School was very positive. There was an
enormous number of practice questions so I felt very well prepared for
the MCT assessment. For the OSCE, I have found my tutor extremely
helpful. She had ideas and tips that I would have not thought of
myself, as the tutor was an experienced exam assessor and knew
exactly what the assessor at the exam would expect of me.”

Practical Advice, Added Value


“I prepared for the MCT with QLTS School and successfully passed on my
first attempt. I initially decided not to take the preparation course for the
OSCE with QLTS School, but I had difficulties in preparing on my own, so I
have decided to take the preparation course with QLTS School again, and
then I successfully passed the OSCE.”

Build Your Confidence
“QLTS School’s preparation meant I felt at ease during the MCT. In the
OSCE, as soon as I started the interviewing and the writing, I felt very
confident, because I was very well prepared with QLTS School.”

Absolutely Necessary to have a Training Course before


Taking the Assessments
“I have found that the mocks exams were very helpful to be done with a
tutor, as well as working together and getting feedback on those exams.
The more exams you can do the better. I have in fact encouraged our
new counsels that are joining our company that they should also take the
Premium Course to be able to have even access to more of those, which I
consider to be essential for the preparation.”

Check Your Progress with Practice Assessments


“QLTS School were very good, especially with the MCT mock exams and
the mock interviews for the OSCE. I felt very well prepared when I came
to take the MCT as I worked through many mock exams before the MCT
itself. I would recommend the QLTS School course to anyone who needs
guidance with the materials and the exams in general.”

Practical, No-Nonsense Advice and Materials


“I think the MCT question bank was very useful. The mock tests
simulated the format and style of the questions in the exam. That
prepared me well for the actual assessment. The summary materials
provided for the MCT were also useful. Being qualified in another
jurisdiction will certainly help my career in the long term.”
