We're committed to making sure no candidate is disadvantaged in demonstrating their competence due to a disability or condition. If you have a disability under the Equality Act 2010 — or another condition that affects your ability to take the assessments — you may be eligible for reasonable adjustments.
Reasonable adjustments are changes to the way assessments are delivered or accessed, helping to remove barriers without altering the competence standards being assessed.
All candidates are assessed against the Statement of Solicitor Competence, Statement of Legal Knowledge, and must meet the Threshold Standard to qualify. These are found in the SQE1 Assessment Specification and SQE2 Assessment Specification.
Our reasonable adjustments process has recently changed. To apply, or to understand what’s involved, visit:
You should also read our full Reasonable Adjustments Policy before applying.
Most SQE assessments take place at Pearson VUE Professional Centres across England and Wales, which meet the disability access requirements of the Equality Act 2010. These centres can accommodate a wide range of adjustments and arrangements.
Please note: You cannot book your SQE assessments directly with Pearson VUE.
We also have information about accessibility at venues used for the SQE2 oral assessment.

The Disabled Students' Allowances (DSAs) are Government-funded grants that may help cover some of the additional costs of studying with a disability, long-term health condition, or mental health difficulty.
While the SQE itself is an exam and not a course (so it isn't covered by DSAs), SQE-related courses may qualify. Eligibility for DSAs is not determined by Kaplan or the SRA — you should contact the relevant student finance body for further information.
We don't offer travel support for attending assessments. However, there may be other sources of assistance depending on your circumstances:
You may also want to check with local services or charities for additional travel support options.
We do our best to make sure this website and our candidate accounts are accessible to people with a disability that affects their use of the internet. But if you cannot use our online registration and booking process due to a disability, please get in touch by phone 0203 486 3080 to speak to the Candidate Services Team or email the Equality Team at equality.quality@sqe.sra.org.uk.
