Assessment dates and locations

Before you book an assessment, it's important to check when assessments are available and where they take place. Dates and locations can affect your preparation and travel plans, so we recommend checking these details as early as possible.

We publish SQE1 and SQE2 assessment dates well in advance, along with the timelines for booking. There are several assessments throughout the year, and places at test centres are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.

You'll also need to decide where you want to sit your assessment. We offer SQE1 and SQE2 assessments at test centres across the UK and internationally. Availability can vary depending on the centre, and not all locations will be offered for every assessment.


What you need to know

We strongly recommend reviewing this information before booking, especially if you have specific location needs or travel considerations.
