The Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test (QLTT) is a regulatory exam for foreign licensed attorneys who want to practice in England and Wales. From 2010, the test is gradually phased out in favor of Qualified Lawyers Transfer Scheme. QLTT requires eligibility such as being from certain jurisdictions and years of legal practice.

Format

The test covers four subject areas of "heads".

  • Head 1 – Property
  • Head 2 – Litigation (either criminal or civil)
  • Head 3 – Professional conduct and accounts
  • Head 4 – Principles of common law
