Why choose the Academy of Smart Lawyers?
SQE2 is a tough exam. We are experts in helping people like you pass SQE2.
Learn from practising solicitors and experienced SQE coaches who follow the Academy’s proven methodology, developed since the QLTS and refined for today’s SQE.
Receive personalised feedback together with practical exam techniques, strategic approaches and marking insights to help you improve across both oral and written assessments.
Top up your SQE2 results with targeted one-to-one sessions focused on your individual goals.
The SQE2 varies in difficulty from one sitting to another. Our structured methodology prepares you for that reality by progressively developing your skills through increasingly challenging exercises, mini-mocks and full-scale simulations.
Integrated law revision is built into the course, with full law modules included at no extra cost for LPC graduates and SQE2 resitters.
Choose our structured course for the most comprehensive and cost-effective preparation, or build your own programme with Pick & Mix. Add one-to-one tuition, mocks and resources whenever you need them, choosing your preferred subject, tutor and timing. Bulk discounts apply to additional Pick & Mix purchases, giving you complete flexibility as your preparation evolves.
Your 9-month subscription covers up to three SQE sittings, and if you need to resit, we continue your access to the learning materials – you’ll usually only need additional one-to-one mocks.
Our approach to SQE2
We believe in mistake driven learning & interactive tutor teaching. We may knock you down to build you back up. It can be stressful & tough but ultimately in your best interests to achieve success.
We understand that you have a high workload at your firm. Your study time is going to be limited & needs to be correctly focused & critically managed. Our system is designed for people just like you.
We want you to pass as many of our extremely tough mock exams as possible in the run up to the real thing. Passing the SQE2 exam is the holy grail.
We are SQE2 experts. We will take you out of your comfort zone to a greater understanding of the challenges to pass. Knowledge is not enough! You must know how to correctly & comprehensively apply your knowledge in a practical setting.
Our tutors & crafted mock exams will push you hard to expose the holes in your knowledge, practical skills & exam techniques. We intend to exponentially improve your SQE2 exam readiness. You are highly unlikely to be able to achieve this threshold without our 1-to-1 training.
