Hi Jessica - thank you for your response and advice.


I am exploring this option and have booked a session with an SQE preparation course provider for some more information as it would be good to get an understanding of the duration of the course and fees.


What I am worried about is that SQE1 materials are examinable in SQE2 syllabus so would be good to make sense of it all since I will not be studying SQE1.


In relation to getting an external solicitor to sign off on my work experience, this is proving quite difficult.


My company approached our external counsel who is a major city law firm but they said they will not be able to sign off on my prior work experience as they had no oversight over my work so I believe I will have to pursue law firm applications even if I complete SQE2.


Unfortunately, I did not have a solicitor (regulated by the SRA) overseeing my work. My manager is a lawyer in Australia but not in England.


A move to private practice does not sound bad though!


Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
