This is known as the Solicitor’s Qualifying Examination (SQE) .  \nRequirements  \nCandidates must: -  \n(a) Complete both stages of an assessment, SQE 1 and SQE 2.  \n(b) Complete a degree level qualification or equivalent.  \n(c) Complete 2 years of qualifying work experience (QWE) .  \n(d) Satisfy the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s character and suitability requirements.  \nSQE 1  \nThis consists of 2 exams of 180 questions. It tests legal knowledge through multiple choice questions. It is anticipated that students will take the SQE slightly after they have completed their academic education ([i.e. degree](i.e. degree)).  \nSQE2  \nThis is a single assessment for candidates. It consists of 15-18 exercises which sample across all skills and practice areas. This will test candidates legal skills through written and oral simulations of the tasks a newly qualified solicitors might be required to undertake in practice, across 5 following practice areas: -  \n(a) Criminal litigation.  \n(b) Dispute resolution/civil litigation.  \n(c) Property practice.  \n(d) Wills and intestacy, probate administration and practice.  \n(e) Business organisations, rules and procedures.  \nIt is anticipated that the SQE 2 will be completed near the end of the candidates qualifying work experience. The QWE replaces the previous training contract. Some employers may want their employees to complete the SQE at an earlier point in their training, however. There is no specific order for the elements that are invoiced with qualification, except that the SQE 1 must be passed before sitting the SQE 2.  \nDegree Level Qualification or Equivalent  \nTo become a solicitor, candidates must hold a degree level qualification or an equivalent. For example: -  \n(a) A level 6 Apprenticeship .  \n(b) A level 6 CILEx Qualification.  \nThe degree level qualification does not have to be in law. However, if a non-law degree is obtained then candidates will need an education of some kind in law in order to be able to pass the SQE assessments. It is anticipated that some universities will incorporate training for the SQE 1 assessments into their law degree or Masters law programmes. In addition, it is thought that many current providers of legal education will offer courses which prepare candidates for the SQE 1 and SQE 2 assessments.  \nTwo Years of Qualifying Work Experience  \nAll candidates will need to complete at least 2 years full time (or equivalent) qualifying work experience (QWE) .  \nThe QWE aims to have a more flexible approach than the previous training contract programme. The QWE will give candidates the opportunity to: -  \n(a) Interact with clients  \n(b) See how solicitors work in practice.  \n(c) Consider ethical challenges.  \n(d) Develop competencies set out in the statement of solicitor competence.  \nThere is no longer a requirement that there should be both contentious (e.g. litigation) and non-contentious work (e.g. conveyancing) carried out. Nor is there any longer a requirement to have worked in a specific number of legal areas.  \nConfirmation that a candidate has undertaken QWE will need to be provided by the relevant organisation that it was completed with,(e.g. a solicitor’s firm) . The QWE is not assessed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The SQE assessments will determine whether a candidate meets the required standard for entry into the profession.  \nOrganisations where QWE can be carried out  \nQWE can be done at a maximum of 4 separate organisations, including: -  \n(a) Law firms.  \n(b) Legal clinics in academic institutions.  \n(c) Law Centres.  \n(d) Other appropriate organisations.  \nThere is no minimum length for each time spent at a placement.  \nTrainee solicitors in the past tended to gain experience as a trainee solicitor in one block directly before qualifying as a solicitor","cbCaii2L6F9NglQo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii2L6F9NglQo","pdf",81385,"English","# Requirements\n## SQE 1\n## SQE 2\n## Degree level qualification or equivalent\n## Two years of qualifying work experience (QWE)\n## Organisations where QWE can be carried out\n## Cost","[{\"question\":\"What are the core requirements to take the SQE assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates must complete both stages of the SQE (SQE 1 and SQE 2), hold a degree-level qualification or equivalent, complete two years of qualifying work experience (QWE), and satisfy the SRA character and suitability requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How does SQE 1 differ from SQE 2?\",\"answer\":\"SQE 1 consists of two exams with 180 questions testing legal knowledge via multiple-choice questions.
