SQE exemption eligibility check

Five short questions. Around three minutes. You get an answer on screen at the end, and a written assessment from us within three working days.

There is no cost and no obligation.

Your name

Where you are qualified

The SRA publishes a separate position for each jurisdiction. Yours decides what evidence it will accept.

Jurisdiction

Your professional title

Date you were admitted

Your two years

An exemption needs two years of professional legal experience. It can come from more than one place.

Training I had to complete before I qualifiedCompulsory supervised practice or a training period required for my licence Experience since I qualifiedTwo years or more in practice since admission Some of eachCompulsory training, then practice since admission I do not think I have two years yetAnswer this if you are unsure. The threshold is often met in ways applicants do not expect

What you are entitled to do

Not what you have done, but what your qualification permits. This is the question that decides everything else.

Previous SQE assessments

The SRA will not exempt an applicant from a part of the SQE they have already sat and not passed, so we are obliged to ask.

I have never sat any part of the SQE I have sat and passed part of it I have sat part of it and not passed I am waiting for a result

Anything you would like us to know, in a sentence or two

Thank you

What happens now We read your answers against the SRA's current entry for your jurisdiction and come back within three working days with a written assessment: whether you are eligible, which route your application takes, the evidence you will need and what it costs. There is no charge for that and no obligation after it.

If we think you should sit the assessment rather than apply, we will say so.
If you would rather speak first, reply to our email and we will find a time.
