Who can apply for SQE exemptions?
Updated over a year ago

Lawyers who are qualified outside of the UK can apply for an exemption for either part of SQE1 (FLK1 or FLK2) or from SQE2 (or a combination). The reason is that their training, experience, or qualifications act as an equivalent for SQE.

Generally, aspiring solicitors from the UK (with the exception of Scottish solicitors) cannot apply for any exemptions.
