As a qualified lawyer trained in another jurisdiction interested in the SQE route, Future Solicitor offers exactly the services I was looking for! The versatile platform is easy to navigate and it allows users to move easily between modules depending on your needs. For instance, in my own Civil Law jurisdiction the fields of Criminal Law or Tort Law are taught distinctively differently to how these areas work in the English Common Law tradition, so I knew I needed to devote more time to that course than to Public Law or Dispute Resolution. I also found the study notes and practice exams very helpful to retain key information —especially when it came to memorising salient titles and sections. I am certain the platform will prove to be a key resource for both UK-based degree-level students and foreign lawyers trained in other jurisdictions who seek to be qualified in the English legal market!

The interface is very user-friendly and the structure of the content is very well thought through and nicely designed for non-technical people like me. As a foreign lawyer, the structure of the program assisted me greatly in understanding the various aspects of the English and Welsh curriculum in a simple manner. The videos are bite-sized and the notes are very manageable. The study notes and flow diagrams made very complex concepts and principles much easier to understand and apply.

The course has inspired me to qualify in order to strengthen my skill set as a property developer. Despite coming from an engineering and construction career the course is extremely user friendly. Cannot recommend strongly enough !
