Built by someone on the same path as you
Legal PA. Paralegal. Psychology graduate. Legal speaking coach. Still an SQE student. This site exists because I needed it and it didn't.
I spent a year as a legal PA in commercial litigation, studying my MA law conversion at the same time and trying to get experience that would eventually lead to a training contract.
It didn't come easily. I have a psychology degree from the University of Manchester - which had nothing to do with law and everything to do with how I think. Alongside the PA work, I also spent time as a legal speaking coach, helping lawyers at leading firms communicate more clearly and confidently.
Eventually I found a paralegal role in commercial litigation that comes with QWE, and switched focus to the SQE as a more realistic route to qualification.
When I started looking seriously at the SQE, I couldn't get straight answers to basic questions. Which provider actually produces the best pass rates? What does this realistically cost when you factor in resits and SRA fees? Every comparison site I found had affiliate deals behind it. Provider websites were doing their job. Reddit had useful threads but they were buried and six months out of date.
So I built what I needed.
The Qualified Path pulls pass rate data directly from the SRA, models costs provider by provider including worst-case resit scenarios, and is written by someone making the same decisions as you - not a marketing team.
I'm still in it. That's the point.
This site has no affiliate deals, no course commissions, and no financial relationship with any SQE provider. When a provider has good pass rates, I say so. When they're expensive for what you get, I say that too. The comparison data serves you, not them.
