Course summary
Continue your legal journey with our SQE Law Essentials course, designed for early stage legal professionals who wish to reinforce their legal knowledge, or individuals who have studied law previously and wish to update their knowledge. This short, online conversion course will give you the essential academic legal knowledge required for SQE1 and a solid grounding in core legal principles. This course prepares you to take our SQE1 Preparation Course or LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) to qualify as a solicitor within England and Wales. SQE Law Essentials focuses on two key skills: technical legal knowledge, and the skills required to pass legal professional examinations, such as the SQE1.
Non-law students should consider studying our Postgraduate Diploma (Law Conversion Course) PGDL or Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PGDL) Online.
