The Academy was initially formed by foreign-qualified lawyers who successfully passed the solicitors’ examination. At that time, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) was known as the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) and was only available to qualified lawyers.
Recognising a lack of quality training for the 2nd part of the exam (the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) – now SQE2), we decided to take action. With first-hand experience of the exam, we came together to assist other aspiring solicitors, focusing not only on legal knowledge, but also on essential skills and exam techniques. We invested considerable effort in developing a pragmatic approach to SQE preparation and helping candidates master exam methodology. Our original 1-to-1 training approach has helped hundreds of resitters achieve their goals, and provided visible support to the most disadvantaged candidates. Those were the first steps we made as OSCEsmart.
Today, we have grown into an international community of over 300 solicitors. This collective expertise has driven our rebranding to the Academy of Smart Lawyers, with the shared goal of revolutionising legal education.
Experienced barristers and educators have joined us, broadening our services beyond the SQE. We are now training solicitors for the Higher Rights of Audience exam, preparing bar students for the UK bar exams, and providing legal skills training to legal practitioners within the framework of continuing professional development. To make learning convenient for our students, we utilise the SUPERexam platform, specifically developed for skills training.
We believe in mistake-driven learning & active tutoring carried out primarily through 1-to-1 sessions. Challenging your assumptions, our tutors may knock you down to build you back up – sometimes a stressful experience that can however help you grow.
We are a global community of like-minded legal professionals from different backgrounds joined together to bring change to the future of legal education. Joining us as a student, you become our colleague and a member of the Smart team.
We endorse online education, digitalisation, and EduTech utilisation. It’s a cost-effective, flexible model best-suited for individualised learning and available to Smart users through our SUPERexam e-learning and training platform.
