What are they doing?
They previously provided QLTS private tutoring and have now moved to the SQE. They offer bespoke training courses and personal coaching for qualified lawyers on a one-to-one basis but will include small group courses/workshops. They identify areas where clients need assistance and focus on helping them master that skill or knowledge. This includes Legal English language skills.
What are the benefits of this?
The training is made-to-measure and focused on individual learning, skills development and exam effectiveness, while acquiring knowledge of the essential principles. They use critical thinking and problem solving analysis tools to develop the knowledge, while building confidence and developing and refining skills.
How long will it take?
A full course for both parts of the SQE will take 12 – 24 months (depending on experience and the frequency of lessons). As most of their students are working practitioners, the tutor factors in their professional workloads and can offer lessons after hours and on weekends. Students from common law jurisdictions often have shorter timeframes.
What will it cost?
The students will be offered Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze group packages or individual one-to-one training with dedicated tutor guidance, feedback and coaching. They say this is effective in assisting candidates to develop their own style and practice skills under exam conditions. All training includes exam simulation exercises such as MCQs and SQE2 mocks including live interviews and advocacy.
Who is it aimed at?
Their focus is on qualified civil lawyers but other lawyers may also benefit from this training approach. The tutor is a qualified practising solicitor of England and Wales with 30 years’ experience. Together with the SQE training courses, legal English courses are also available for civil law lawyers who need assistance with their language skills.
