What our SQE students say:
Years of experience assisting foreign lawyers in qualifying in England and Wales, including those who initially failed the SQE, have equipped us to support you in resitting and passing the exam successfully.
Join us and turn your next attempt into a success story.

The provider I used for my first exam prep felt a bit too general, and I think it would have been more helpful if it was more specific and focused.
For my second exam, I simply followed the exact instructions provided by the Academy via their SUPERexam platform, which made a significant difference.

I believe your training was very helpful. Before joining the Academy, I tried preparing with [training provider’s name omitted], but I found that your training is much more concentrated—and that’s exactly what is needed for the exam.
With your tutors, I had a feeling that I am moving forward, I am getting better. I knew what I was doing and what I was expected to do.

What helped me the most was going through the slides you put together, as they clearly outlined exactly what I would be assessed on. Your slides cover everything that needs to be known, which was incredibly helpful.
I only wish I had that guidance the first time I took the exam. I truly believe that your preparation is highly focused on helping candidates pass the exam.
