The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) will be introduced this autumn. According to the SRA the assessment registration and bookings are now open:
Before someone can sit an SQE assessment, they will need to create their SQE account. Registration is now open, and they’ll need to follow these steps:
- go to the SQE assessment website to sign up
- verify their photo ID
- complete a diversity survey
- tell us about any exemptions (qualified lawyers only)
- request any reasonable adjustments they need to sit the assessments.
In particular the SRA are encouraging candidates who may need reasonable adjustments to make a request as soon as they can. That will allow them to let their training provider, if applicable, know about agreed adjustments – for instance, when doing mock assessments.
Once registration is complete, candidates can now book their place for the first SQE1 in November.
