We have updated the SQE website’s structure, navigation, and content based on extensive feedback and testing with website users. This work focused on how candidates search for, access, and understand information about the SQE. These changes are designed to make it easier to find what you need, with clearer signposting to key topics and more accessible, easy-to-read content.
The updated structure will better reflect the SQE journey - from registering and booking, to taking the assessments. We've made several updates to improve the website user experience, including:
