Structured SQE preparation with QLTS

SQE1 and SQE2 preparation courses with 30 SQE1 mock tests, 300 SQE2 mock exams, AI-powered feedback and personal tutor support — built for UK candidates, foreign-qualified lawyers and retakers.

Who QLTS courses are for

QLTS prepares candidates from across the UK and internationally. Our courses are designed to flex around your background, prior legal knowledge, available study time and target SQE sitting.

UK law and non-law graduates

Whether you’ve just finished your LLB or are coming to the law for the first time, our courses cover the entire SQE syllabus from first principles, with summary notes, video tutorials, podcasts and mock practice to suit every learning style.

Foreign-qualified lawyers

We’ve helped thousands of internationally-qualified lawyers requalify in England and Wales for more than 15 years — first through the QLTS assessments, now through the SQE. Course materials are written for an international audience and adapt to common-law and civil-law backgrounds.

Career changers and full-time professionals

Our courses are designed for self-paced study around work and family commitments. No fixed enrolment date, no fixed lecture schedule — your tutor-prepared study plan flexes around your real-life timeline.

Retake candidates

If you’ve sat the SQE and need a different approach for your next attempt, we offer dedicated retake support — including single-FLK packages for candidates resitting just one part of SQE1.

Why structured SQE preparation matters

Kaplan administers the SQE assessments but does not provide preparation courses. The syllabus is broad, and candidates need more than legal content alone — a clear study plan, focused revision materials, realistic practice and feedback on performance.

QLTS helps candidates organise their preparation around available study time, professional background, learning style and target sitting, so they can study efficiently and build exam readiness step by step.

94% pass rate among QLTS candidates with 25+ mocks

Among QLTS candidates who completed 25 or more SQE1 mock tests and reported their results for the July 2023 SQE1 assessment, 94% passed — well above the SRA’s reported overall pass rate of 53% for the same sitting.

That comparison reflects a self-selected, highly engaged subset of candidates. But our internal data consistently shows the same trend: candidates who complete more realistic mocks pass at higher rates. Mock practice is the strongest predictor of SQE1 success — and our 30 mock tests are built to mirror the actual exam in format, difficulty and timing.

  • Full SQE1 and SQE2 course packages for candidates resitting both parts or the full SQE2

Personalise your study approach

Take our short learning-style quiz to receive a personalised SQE1 study guide. It explains how to use the different course resources based on your professional background, preferred learning style and available study time.

When to start your preparation

For SQE1, we recommend a 5–6 month study period at 15–20 hours per week. For SQE2, 3–4 months at 15–20 hours per week, though some candidates take up to 8 months — that’s fine.

There’s no fixed enrolment date. You can join the course at any time and prepare for the next available sittings.

What people say

Common questions

Are QLTS courses mainly just mock tests?

No. QLTS is well known for realistic SQE mock tests, but our courses are not built around mocks alone. Each course combines tutor-guided study planning, summary notes, practice questions, video tutorials, podcasts, AI tools, performance feedback and expert support. Mocks are one element of a complete preparation system.

How does QLTS help candidates structure their study?

Course packages include an initial consultation and (where included) a personalised study plan based on your available study time, professional background, learning style and target sitting. This helps you understand how to use the course resources effectively rather than treating every resource as mandatory.

Are the courses suitable for foreign-qualified lawyers?

Yes. We’ve helped thousands of foreign-qualified lawyers requalify in England and Wales for over 15 years — first through the QLTS, now through the SQE. Course materials are written for an international audience and adapt to common-law and civil-law backgrounds.

Do you offer support for SQE retakers?

Yes. We offer full SQE1 and SQE2 course packages for retakers, plus dedicated single-FLK packages at £1,490 for candidates resitting just one part of SQE1. Our retake support focuses on the practical, exam-focused preparation that most candidates report missing first time round.

Can I study while working full-time?

Yes. The courses are designed for flexible self-paced study. Your study plan can be structured around your available time, whether you are preparing full-time, part-time or alongside work.
