Students Experiences of SQE2
Date: 5 May 2022
Time: 13:00 - 14:15
This webinar is for anyone who would like to know more about the actual experiences of students who took the SQE2 assessment in April. You could be a potential student, in graduate recruitment or a legal education professional.
We will share our learnings from our first SQE2 prep course through to the assessments, and how we can help future students prepare fully for SQE2.
Topics covered in the webinar:
- The format and style of the SQE2 Assessments
- Feedback from students from the SQE2 Assessment in April
- Learning for the College to improve preparation for future students
There will be an opportunity to ask any questions you have about either the SQE or the training programmes.
Speakers
Dr Giles Proctor
CEO, The College of Legal Practice
Dr Giles Proctor qualified as a solicitor with Addleshaw Goddard in Manchester and practiced in corporate and commercial law before entering teaching and completing his PhD.
Giles has designed and delivered commercial diploma courses and corporate training for ‘magic circle’ law firms, whilst at Nottingham Law School and the University of Law. He managed the successful opening of Kaplan Law School, delivering postgraduate legal education, in partnership with Nottingham Law School, to over 16 City firms. Whilst leading Kaplan Law School , the Law School was contracted by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to design and develop the assessment for the changing QLTS exam regime, which has now shaped the SQE assessment regime.
Giles helped found Roehampton Law School (the Law School), which opened in September 2015, the teaching at the Law School being guided by the philosophy of ‘law in practice’, teaching law to students in the context of legal practice, using tutors who are overwhelmingly ex-practitioners. He joined The College of Legal Practice as Chief Executive Officer in February 2020 and leads our business engagement, collaborating with firms and Universities to develop bespoke training programmes around professional education, including SQE.
