This program prepares you for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), serving as the updated pathway to becoming a solicitor instead of the traditional Legal Practice Course (LPC).
Tailored for law graduates pursuing legal practice, you'll develop the necessary skills, knowledge, and preparation to successfully complete the SQE Part One assessment.
Through this Professional Legal Practice postgraduate certificate, you'll be equipped to undertake the initial stage of the SQE, the modern alternative to the LPC for entering legal practice.
Administered by education provider KAPLAN, the SQE pathway involves two examinations followed by documentation of two years' hands-on legal experience.
Covering all essential legal knowledge areas mandated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, this course readies you for the first of the two SQE examinations.
You'll develop thorough expertise across multiple legal areas, enabling you to confidently evaluate challenging scenarios and determine effective solutions.
As one of London's premier institutions for legal practice qualifications, London Met offers exceptional training to launch your career as a solicitor.
