Introducing the Next Generation of legal training & mentoring
With over a decade of experience in helping trainees to qualify and in line with our mission at Accutrainee to be your partner in law, we have developed Pathways.
Pathways operates as your online legal career training portfolio as you take the new SQE or Training Contract (TC) road to qualification.
What is Pathways?
Pathways is your platform for recording QWE, training and development
Pathways: a free QWE tracking tool
Introducing Pathways, Accutrainee’s innovative platform designed to streamline and simplify the process of recording and supervising Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) under the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). Pathways is a free digital tool created to support aspiring solicitors, especially those from historically under-represented backgrounds, by providing an accessible way to manage their QWE.
With Pathways, you can:
- Organise and track your work across up to four different placements over two years.
- Build a detailed journal, add work entries, and send it to a supervising solicitor for confirmation.
- Track your progress against the SRA’s competency framework with real-time updates, all in one centralised location.
Pathways empowers future solicitors by making the QWE process transparent, efficient, and manageable, helping you to achieve your career goals in law.

Training Portfolio
Core to the Pathways platform is its training portfolio. This enables you to record, monitor and track your QWE against the SRA requirements, with progress updates. Pathways will track your skills and competencies as you go and identify areas of development where you might need more focus. The system encourages self-analysis and self-reflection to consider where you are at in your development and enables you to store all relevant qualification documents centrally and securely.

Pioneers
As the pioneers in QWE (we’ve been doing it this way for over 10 years now having built the Accutrainee model on it) we want to help you navigate not just what you need to do to qualify, but what good qualifying work experience looks like. So, in addition to setting out what you need to do, Pathways suggests how much you need to do. You will be able to track your progress with our easy-to-follow progress bars.

Produce
We want everyone who uses Pathways to get to the end of their own journey feeling like a well-rounded, fully competent solicitor.
-
Engine
Behind Pathways is a powerful and constantly evolving bank of content to support and educate. From practical exercises on skills development such as Attention to Detail and Commercial Awareness to approved core competency courses with partners and up to date, relevant articles, our aim is to bring you the highest quality content to assist you on your journey.
-
Partnership
We passionately believe that no candidate should feel like they are “going it alone” in the new SQE world. So, we have built Pathways as your partner in law to help you proactively manage your career and give you that clear pathway you need to become a lawyer.
Pathways is really intuitive. It doesn't just track my QWE, but it gives me lots of guidance and other opportunities to learn.
