Common questions

Yes. The Level 7 solicitor apprenticeship takes around six years and leads to full qualification, including the SQE assessments, while you work and earn.
Do I need a law degree?
No — that's the point of the route. You'll need strong A-Levels or equivalent, and the legal training is built into the apprenticeship.
How competitive are legal apprenticeships?
Very. Firms often recruit small numbers and applications open early, so apply as widely as you can.
