This webinar is the next in The College of Legal Practice’s SQE Insights series for Legal L&D professionals and those involved in recruiting, developing and supporting aspiring solicitors.
This webinar will help firms explore how to make a successful move to the SQE from the LPC. Dr Giles Proctor, CEO of The College of Legal Practice, will share how different organisations are approaching the SQE and developing training programmes that work for them. He will also share student experiences from the very first SQE1 Assessment.

Topics covered in the webinar:
- The basics of the SQE
- Experiences from the first SQE1 assessment
- Key considerations when moving to a SQE training programme
- How to design your training programme to meet your organisation’s needs
- Examples from discussions with firms, sharing different approaches to the timings for assessments and qualifying work experience (QWE)

Background on Speaker – 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 a new law school for Kaplan, delivering postgraduate legal education, in partnership with Nottingham Law School, to over 16 City firms.
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.
