Postgraduate Certificate SQE 2 Preparation Course

 

 

Course information

At Nottingham Law School, we are here to support you every step of the way as you prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). SQE 2 is an essential step in your route to qualification, and our Preparation course is designed to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed.

The course develops key legal and professional skills for legal practice, with content and assessments closely aligned to the SRA SQE 2 assessment specifications. You will have access to extensive learning resources, including online materials, structured revision materials and regular mock assessments to support focused revision and exam technique.

You will learn to think and act like a solicitor through CV-enhancing activities such as negotiation workshops, complemented by networking opportunities and guest lectures, helping you build confidence for legal practice.

The option of full-time or part-time study modes gives you the flexibility to work alongside your studies.
