Who is BARBRI?
BARBRI is the world’s leading private legal education provider.
Founded in 1967, we have prepared more than 1.435 million lawyers and law graduates to sit and pass a U.S. bar exam (the qualifying assessments for the practice of law in the U.S.). We also have offered the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS), requiring foreign-qualified lawyers to dual-qualify as solicitors in England and Wales.
The new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) is modelled on the U.S. Multistate Bar Examination and QLTS assessments. BARBRI was the first legal education provider to provide a comprehensive and structured SQE Prep course in the UK in September 2020, offering a Flexible 40-week, Focused 20-week, and Accelerated 10-week course for SQE1 and a 12-week course for SQE2.
BARBRI helps students decide which path to qualification is right for them by addressing individual needs and circumstances.
The BARBRI SQE Prep courses are offered with employability in mind. Students receive individual mentorship by English-qualified solicitors and barristers to prepare them for the assessments. Fortnightly career clinics are available, as well as monthly business skills workshops and careers webinars.
Our team would be happy to assist your university with organising joint informational events on the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). We frequently advise students and businesses on the elements of the qualification process and the available study options. We can also discuss how our innovative teaching model can be incorporated with yours in order to extend the opportunities for flexible SQE Prep study to your students.
