SQE 1 Preparation Course (LLM)

Passing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) 1 is the first step in your route to qualifying as a solicitor, and the LLM SQE 1 Preparation Course is designed to prepare you for this.

You should choose the LLM SQE 1 Preparation Course if you want a course that prepares you for SQE1.

This SQE 1 preparation course provides an opportunity to obtain an internationally recognised Masters qualification that is also eligible for the UK Government postgraduate loan.

All our SQE preparation courses that are taught in person carry awards and all our SQE 1 or SQE 1 + SQE 2 courses are taught at Masters level.

You will have access to online manuals that will equip you with a better understanding of the relevant law and enable you to thoroughly prepare for the SQE 1 assessment. The manuals also contain a bank of multiple choice questions for you to practice as you work through each module.

This course provides you with everything you need to have the best opportunity to pass SQE whilst also developing the professional skills that really matter to employers.

You will be taught by our outstanding teaching team, all of whom are experienced legal professionals who will provide you with excellent and personalised teaching in a dynamic and interactive teaching environment.
