PGDip Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep)

Bristol, UWE

Progress your pathway to qualification as a solicitor on our course designed to offer flexibility around your work commitments and finances. Why study the Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep) Our course will prepare you to sit the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) 1 and 2, which you'll need to pass as one of the steps required to qualify as a practising solicitor in England and Wales. The course is open to both law and non-law graduates you may already be working in legal practice, or starting your training in the legal profession. The course consists of two separate parts: SQE 1 Prep focuses on Functional Legal Knowledge and will prepare you for the externally-set SQE 1 exam. SQE 2 Prep focuses on Legal Skills and will prepare you for the externally-set SQE 2 skills assessments. You can choose to study either or both SQE 1 Prep and SQE 2 Prep at UWE Bristol. Successful completion of SQE 1 Prep leads to the UWE Bristol award of Postgraduate Certificate Solicitors Training Course (SQE 1 Prep). You can then choose to take the award at that point and have a break from your studies or to continue your studies at UWE Bristol to complete SQE 2 Prep. If you successfully complete SQE 1 Prep and SQE 2 Prep, you'll then be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep). If you're an international student, you'll be required to complete both stages of assessment (SQE 1 Prep and SQE 2 Prep) according to the conditions of your visa. Therefore, you'll be unable to take a break between the SQE 1 and 2. If you've completed and passed your SQE 1 Prep at another institution you can come to UWE Bristol to study the SQE 2 Prep. Recognition of your SQE 1 Prep and successful completion of SQE 2 Prep at UWE Bristol leads to the UWE Bristol award of Postgraduate Diploma Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep).
