As a law graduate you may need a refresher in the ‘substantive law’ subjects, and will almost certainly need to study the ‘practitioner’ areas of SQE1. The ‘practitioner’ areas are those you would normally study on an LPC course.
If you are in this position, our ‘SILVER’ or ‘BRONZE’ packages are aimed at you. Our ‘SILVER’ package includes access to 12 of our study workshops and unlimited access to our interactive learning materials – including revision lessons and practice MCQ’s.
Our ‘BRONZE’ package includes unlimited access to our interactive learning materials – including revision lessons and practice MCQ’s, with study workshops paid for as taken
As a non-law graduate looking to study both the substantive law and practitioner elements of SQE1, and perhaps due to work or personal commitments unable to commit to a full time traditional academic law course, our GOLD package is aimed at you.
Ostensibly you will be self-motivated, dedicated and able to commit to a self-study programme.
Our ‘GOLD’ package includes weekly sessions with a personal tutor, unlimited access to our live study workshops and interactive learning materials – including revision lessons and practice MCQ’s

These may be accessed from any device and are html5 compliant.
Online workshops are delivered via Zoom and will be delivered from September 2021.

Each workshop, run by experts in that area of law, normally lasts 1.5 hour online on ‘Zoom’ platform and will include the various areas of SQE1 study and substantive law – these are held every week from September 2021.
