SQE timings

[sofffff123]

This may be a stupid question but can someone please explain the SQE timings with a potential TC. I just graduated my fourth year at the Uni of Edinburgh with a non-law degree, and am currently looking at applying for TCs and Vac schemes (decided on law only recently). I would need to apply to firms who were willing to help fund my SQE as can't self-fund but I don't understand whether I need to apply for a TC first and then apply for an SQE course or apply together? Can I apply for an SQE course at any point throughout the year? My problem is I don't have the current funds to finance the SQE and would want the security of a firm funding it first

Thank you so so much. This was so helpful and succinct
