How Training Works

Structured, Tutor-Led Preparation From Start to Sign-Off

We take you through a clear journey: diagnostic, skills building, intensive practice, exam-standard mocks and final refinement.

1

Diagnostic & Study Plan

We review your background, experience and timelines, then map out a route (Intensive, Standard or Extended) that fits your exam date.

2

Live Skills Workshops

Tutor-led sessions break down each skill with examples, frameworks and worked demonstrations you can follow and reuse in the exam.

3

Guided Practice Tasks

You complete tasks mirroring SQE2 assessments – interviews, submissions, drafts and research – with clear instructions and timings.

4

Timed Mock Assessments

We run full or partial mocks under timed conditions, marked using SQE2-style criteria with detailed feedback on each skill.

5

Feedback & Refinement

We identify patterns in your performance and agree targeted drills so you walk into the real SQE2 exam with clarity and a repeatable approach.

SQE2 Routes

Choose a Route That Matches Your Timeline

All routes cover the same core skills. The difference is pacing, contact time and the number of mocks you complete before your exam window.

INTENSIVE

Intensive Route

For exams in the next 4–6 weeks.

  • High-frequency live sessions.
  • Fast diagnostic and action plan.
  • Focus on exam performance and strategy.
  • Multiple timed mocks with priority feedback.

Best if your exam date is very close and you need structure now.

STANDARD

Standard Route

Our most common pathway.

  • Balanced schedule over several weeks.
  • Regular skills workshops and practice tasks.
  • Mock assessments spaced to track progress.
  • Room to revisit weaker skills properly.

Ideal if you’re planning SQE2 with some runway before the exam window.

EXTENDED

Extended Route

For earlier planners or working candidates.

  • Lower weekly intensity but longer duration.
  • Built to fit around work or other commitments.
  • Additional time for consolidation and revision.
  • Step-by-step confidence building.

Ideal if you are balancing work, life and a later SQE2 sitting.
