    Hi - anyone doing a TC in 2023 and is still studying or will need to study the LPC? Does Kennedys provide a maintenance grant? I know they pay for the LPC but wasn’t sure on a grant and how much it would be. Thanks!!

    Hey, yes they do 😊 I think it’s £7,000 - not sure when it gets paid though!

    Thank you! Are you still studying the LPC or haven’t started it yet? I’m in the middle of doing my LPC so I’m not sure whether I qualify got a grant or just the LPC reimbursement.
    So sorry, I didn’t see this! I haven’t started it yet - I would imagine there would be a grant for the second year of study too though? Probably worth checking with them if you haven’t already!

    No not yet, I am planning on doing it tomorrow. Can I ask if the questions were strength-based, competency or motivation?

    Has anyone completed the Kennedys VI yet? I’ve done mine…?

    Quite nerve racking TBH, hopefully I didn’t look too awks on camera 🫣
    I get what you mean about being nerve-racking, especially since we are talking to a camera. Don't dwell on it too much, I'm sure you did really well!!
