Written by the company

Originally founded as OSCEsmart® in 2018 to support foreign-qualified lawyers preparing for the QLTS OSCE (the precursor to SQE2), we have since evolved into the Academy of Smart Lawyers — a global legal education hub. Today, we proudly unite a community of over 300 solicitors and legal professionals, driven by a shared mission: to revolutionise legal training through innovative, practice-based learning. We offer comprehensive, flexible preparation for both SQE1 and SQE2 exams, trusted by aspiring solicitors worldwide. At the heart of our approach is the Smart Methodology — a proven system that emphasises hands-on practice, realistic simulations, and individualised feedback from experienced solicitors who have themselves passed the SQE. We believe true mastery comes from doing, not just reading. We also offer additional training and support for bar students and practising lawyers seeking to enhance their advocacy skills and techniques. LLB and LLM students find our comprehensive law and skills lectures particularly valuable for passing their university law exams.

The only SQE Prep you need

I am incredibly grateful for the 1-to-1 training I received as part of my preparation for the skills component of the solicitors' exam. The programme was nothing short of exceptional. What stood out most was the depth and quality of the feedback after each mock — often exceeding an hour in length — and always focused, detailed, and strategically aligned with the actual exam format.

It quickly became clear that this wasn’t just about understanding the law; it was about training to perform. The tutors had a deep understanding of SQE2 exam tactics, and each session was designed to help me internalise those techniques through practice, not theory. Simply knowing the law is not enough for this assessment — you must apply it under pressure, and that’s exactly what the training taught me to do.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible team behind the programme. From experienced solicitor-trainers to the specially trained layperson interviewers, every session was realistic, supportive, and challenging in all the right ways. I always felt encouraged to push myself and was never left without clear direction on how to improve.

This training made all the difference in helping me approach the SQE2 skills assessments with confidence and clarity. I highly recommend it to any candidate taking the exam seriously.

The most critical part of the training is the personalised approach that Olga and her team give to each candidate. It makes you feel that you are not alone in this journey and have a full team to take you up there.

Would 100% recommend the Academy of Smart Lawyers to fellow candidates who are looking to sit for the upcoming exams.

SQE2 Exemption Support and SQE1 Exam Preparation

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from the Academy of Smart Lawyers (SUPERexam Platform). They provided expert guidance throughout my SQE2 exemption application process, and thanks to their help, my application was successful. The team demonstrated a clear understanding of the SRA’s requirements and made the process much less daunting for me as a foreign-qualified lawyer.
I’m now preparing for the SQE1 exam with them, and I’m very satisfied with the quality of their course materials and teaching approach. The SUPERexam Platform is well-organised, user-friendly, and packed with helpful resources such as practice questions, mock exams, and revision tools that closely mirror the real exam format. The tutors are approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to provide extra support when needed.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Academy of Smart Lawyers to anyone preparing for the SQE—especially international lawyers looking for structured support, expert advice, and a practical, exam-focused learning experience.

SQE1 Success and Top University Results. All Thanks to This Course.

Taking the SQE preparation course at the Academy of Smart Lawyer was one of the best decisions I made in my legal journey. As someone whose first language is not English, I was initially worried about the complexity of legal terminology and the amount of reading involved. However, the course materials were clear, well-structured, and accessible even for non-native speakers.

What I appreciated most was the practical and strategic approach to learning. The course didn’t just provide theory - it gave real tools for mastering the SQE1 topics, especially areas like Criminal Practice, Property Practice, and Solicitors’ accounts. It also helped me build confidence and legal vocabulary that became extremely useful in my master’s programme in the UK.

Thanks to the solid legal foundation I gained at the Academy, I was able to achieve the highest marks in my university exams during my master’s course. The methods and mindset I developed helped me not only understand complex legal concepts, but also apply them critically and effectively in academic work.

The tutors at the Academy are knowledgeable and supportive. They understand the challenges international students face and make sure no one is left behind. I felt supported at every step and always had someone to ask if I needed clarification.

This course is not just about passing the exam, it’s about becoming a confident, competent lawyer ready to practise in England and Wales.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and inspiring feedback!

We’re truly delighted to hear that your experience with the Academy of Smart Lawyers has not only helped you prepare effectively for the SQE but has also contributed to your exceptional academic performance during your master’s studies in the UK.

It’s particularly rewarding to know that the legal foundation and learning strategies you developed with us helped you achieve the highest marks in your university exams. That’s a powerful reflection of how SQE preparation, when done right, can go far beyond exam readiness — equipping you with critical thinking, legal vocabulary, and the confidence to apply legal principles at an advanced level.

We’re also pleased that the materials proved accessible and effective, even for non-native English speakers. Supporting international students is central to our mission, and your success story is exactly what motivates us to continue developing inclusive, high-impact training.

Thank you again for sharing your journey - and we’re proud to support you as you continue working towards qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales!

Highly Recommend!

Used SUPER exam for my SQE1 prep (Jan 2025), and honestly, the lectures were a lifesaver. They're super helpful, really well structured, easy to follow - often presented in a dialogue format that makes everything more engaging. The case law is clearly explained, which I found essential for tackling the multiple-choice questions (a lot of them are based on it). What helped me even more were the SQE2-related lectures (property practice, business, litigations and wills) - I find those subjects a lot harder, and the way they're taught here made a big difference. I didn’t use any other resources from them, but even though it’s all online, the teaching quality is seriously high. Going with you for the SQE2 training too! 😊

If you’re desperate to pass the SQE

If you’re desperate to pass the SQE, it’s likely that you’ll need more than one course provider. Luckily, SUPERexam has so many materials and methods of helping you pass the exams, especially the mocks which they provide. All feedback they provide were very important in helping me gauge what my strengths and weaknesses were. I honestly believe that without the help from SUPERexam, I would not have passed my SQE2 exams. With their help, the mark I received was in the second quintile. You will not be disappointed!

Tailored and Efficient preparation for SQE2

I was working with Academy of Smart Lawyers and Dr. Olga while preparing for my SQE2 exam in Spring 2024. As a full-time professional in a different time zone, I truly valued her efficiency, flexibility, and ability to focus on what mattered most. The coaching was not only supportive but also structured and sharply targeted toward the demands of this complex exam.

Dr. Olga’s personalized feedback helped me understand exactly where and how to improve. Her visual materials—especially the mind maps for Business Law and the Dispute Resolution advocacy framework —were crafted with a clarity that only a true professional could achieve. These resources still stick with me today. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking focused, effective SQE exam preparation.
