You can read more about the SQE2 assessments here.

Qualifying work experience

If you are a student intending to qualify as a solicitor, you will need to complete the equivalent of at least two years full-time/equivalent qualifying work experience. This is a new requirement that has been introduced as part of the SQE course for any students intending to qualify as solicitors from 1 Sept 2021 onwards.

When a student undertakes QWE, a solicitor will need to sign off the candidates’ QWE – this means that they are signing off to say that the student has completed the work experience, it is not about them signing off to say students are competent to practise. The SQE assessment process will test your competency.
