Every SQE1 course package gives you a complete preparation system, not just a set of books or mock tests. Here’s what £1,990 (Basic) or £2,490 (Advantage, our best-value tier) actually buys you:
Prices haven’t gone up to pay for AI: every package now includes the SQE AI Assistant and the SQE1 Analyser (topic-level performance and time-management insights after each mock), at no extra cost.
Three packages, designed for different backgrounds and study needs. Every package includes the core study materials, an initial tutor consultation, the SQE AI Assistant and the SQE1 Analyser.
Retaking SQE1? Our SQE1 packages can also support candidates preparing for a resit. For candidates resitting only one assessment, we offer dedicated FLK1-only and FLK2-only preparation options on our SQE retakers page.
To help you budget for the full cost of becoming a solicitor, here’s what’s separate from our course fee:

Our pricing reflects 15+ years of building SQE preparation materials. We were the leading provider for the QLTS — the predecessor exam that SQE is based on — and our mock tests, textbooks and tutor support have been refined over more than a decade of training thousands of candidates.
Every textbook is written specifically for the SQE (not repackaged from a generic legal textbook). Mock tests are built in-house on a Pearson VUE-style platform. The SQE AI Assistant and SQE1 Analyser are proprietary tools developed by our team — included in every package at no extra cost.
That focus shows in the result: 94% pass rate among candidates who completed 25 or more of our mocks and reported their results (July 2023 sitting).
Major UK and international firms use our QLTS and SQE preparation courses for their candidates.
Our SQE1 preparation course features 30 mock tests, which are one of the most sought-after features in the SQE training market, leveraging over a decade of experience in this field. The mock tests will ensure you’re truly exam-ready and steer clear of any surprises on the exam day. Other providers may only offer you one or two SQE1 mock tests.
There is no set enrolment date for our SQE1 courses. You can join the course at any time throughout the year, offering you the flexibility to begin your preparation when it suits you best.
The SQE1 course packages provide various levels of tutor support. Each package includes an initial consultation with one of our expert tutors, who will assist you in customising your preparation plan, taking into account your professional background, learning style, and available time.
No. The price you see is the price you pay, plus textbook delivery outside the UK and the £90 administration fee on payment plans. SRA assessment fees are separate and paid directly to Kaplan when you book your sitting.
Yes. Change the currency before checkout. We accept GBP, USD, EUR, AUD, BRL, CAD, CNY, HKD, INR, JPY, NZD, RUB, SGD, TRY and ZAR.
Pay over three monthly instalments, interest-free, with no pre-approval required. The first instalment is £990 + £90 admin fee, which applies to all payment plans, and shipping (free within the UK).
We do not offer our SQE1 mock tests as a standalone product.
The mock tests are included as part of our full preparation packages, together with the accompanying study tools designed to support your preparation for the exam.
Yes. SQE1 Basic candidates can later unlock access to the SQE Video Library or purchase 20 additional mock tests for £390 each.
Access covers the next two consecutive SQE1 sittings from the date of your course purchase, or until you pass — whichever comes first. An optional pre-prep period extends this to three sittings if you buy in the month of, or immediately before, a scheduled assessment.
Our course is built for flexibility — no fixed enrolment date, no fixed cohort schedule, three-month payment plans, course access covering multiple sittings, and a tutor consultation to help you plan around your life. We also signpost external resources for managing exam stress and mental health support. See our wellbeing page.
Every course package is backed by the QLTS guarantee. If you don’t pass on your first attempt, our retakers page sets out the dedicated SQE1 retake course packages available to you.
No. Our courses cover everything you need to prepare for SQE1.
We’ll dispatch your textbooks within 2 working days of your enrollment into the course. Usually, they will be delivered 2-8 working days later, depending on where you are in the world. Delivery might take longer during holidays.
No. Our SQE1 mock tests are developed by QLTS School’s legal education team. AI is used through the SQE1 Analyser to provide structured performance feedback after each mock, helping candidates identify topic weaknesses, timing issues and areas to prioritise.
No. QLTS is known for realistic SQE1 mock tests, but the courses are not built around mocks alone. Our courses include an initial consultation with a tutor who offers a structured preparation advice, digestible summary notes, practice questions, videos, podcasts, flashcards, AI tools and performance feedback.
The SQE1 mock tests are an important part of the course, but they sit within a wider system designed to help candidates learn, consolidate, practise and improve before exam day.
Our 15+ years of mock-test development is what we lead with. Where some providers offer two or three mock tests, our Advantage and Premium packages include 30. Mock practice is the single biggest driver of SQE1 pass rates, so we’ve invested most heavily there.
Yes. If you only need to resit one part of SQE1, we offer dedicated FLK1-only and FLK2-only preparation options. These are designed to help you focus on the assessment you need to retake, with relevant materials, mock tests and exam-focused preparation. See SQE retaker preparation >
SQE1 Basic candidates can upgrade at any time to add access to the SQE Video Library or 20 additional mock tests. Each upgrade costs £390.
SQE1 Advantage candidates cannot upgrade to the SQE1 Premium Course after signing up. Candidates who want the full Premium package should select it at enrolment.
