SQE2

Hello,

I am a 2017 LPC graduate who has been working in the legal industry for several years. I am currently considering taking the SQE2 as my company are willing to pay for the exam and confirm my QWE so that I can qualify as a solicitor. However as its been a long time since I graduated and I'm pretty settled in a niche area, I'm concerned that I have forgotten quite a bit of the underlying legal knowledge from the core areas that the scenarios for the SQE2 exam are based on (I.e. Tort, Criminal, Land, Wills etc.). I'm considering joining a prep course but wondering whether it's worth it - has anyone been preparing for the SQE2 who has done a prep course with any of the providers who thinks it's worth doing? I've been looking at barbri as it will fit around my (full-time) work but not sure whether it'll provide the relevant underlying legal knowledge.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I have just finished my SQE2 20 week prep course with Barbri. I have to say, I have been very impressed with the materials, support and live workshop and tutor calls. I have sat my first two oral assessments today and felt confident and prepared. Barbri support you with live online in person support and you get to practice with a tutor your oral assessments and have feedback. There is lots of opportunity for feedback on work submitted to help you prepare. I would not hesitate to recommend Barbri for SQE 2
