Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) | SOL
Become a Solicitor of England and Wales
The School of Law is NOW OFFERING a unique opportunity for Pakistani Lawyers to be admitted as Solicitors in England and Wales.
We are offering study support and exam preparation for the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme (QLTS) which provides qualified lawyers, who are not admitted as solicitors in England and Wales, with an alternative route to qualification as a solicitor of England and Wales than the domestic route
The QLTS Assessments are in three parts:
Part 1 Multiple Choice Test (MCT)
Part 2 Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
Part 3 Technical Legal Skills Test (TLST)
Part 1 is a multiple choice test that will test Day One Outcome A. Part 1 must be passed before Parts 2 and 3 are attempted. The MCT covers 180 questions across outcomes A1 to A11, over 6 hours.
Part 2 is an objective structured clinical examination that will test interviewing and advocacy skills in the context of the following areas of practice: business, civil and criminal litigation, and property and probate. The OSCE takes place over 3 consecutive days.
Part 3 is a technical legal skills test that will test the skills of legal research, drafting and writing, in the context of the following areas of practice: business, civil and criminal litigation, and property and probate. Parts 2 and 3 can be taken in any order. The TLST also takes place over 3 consecutive days.
The QLTS Assessments are designed to test applicants on Day One Outcomes A, C, D and F. Day One Outcomes. B and E are not assessed as they are assumed of all qualified lawyers.
You can download the Day One Outcomes from the SRA’s website: www.sra.org.uk.
