Courses

Once you’ve decided that you definitely want to be a solicitor or a barrister, the first step will be to enrol on the appropriate course.

This could be an undergraduate law degree (LLB), the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) or a Bar training course (or a combination of courses, depending on the path you choose).

Choosing a trusted legal education provider will ensure that you start your academic journey to becoming a lawyer on a good footing.

For solicitors, if you’re lucky enough to secure your training contract before you start your course, your firm might specify where they want you to do your legal training. If not, it will be up to you to do the research to find the best provider for you.
