SRA Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme Regulations 2011 forms part of Edition 3 of the Handbook, which came into effect on 18 April 2012.
We shall:
publish guidelines and outcomes in relation to the QLTS assessment,
validate and authorise the provision of the QLTS assessments by the assessment organisation, and
monitor the provision of the QLTS assessments by the assessment organisation.
Subject to regulation 3.4 below, international lawyers must pass all the QLTS assessments.
If you are a lawyer applying for admission pursuant to European Communities Directive 2005/36/EC or any legislation implementing the Directive in the UK, or any UK qualified lawyer, you may be required to pass one or more QLTS assessments, as we shall determine.
Any applicant who has passed the LPC is eligible to apply for an exemption from Part 1 of the QLTS assessments.
