GDL Online

[NourJ]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to know if there's anyone that did the GDL online. If I were to get a TC this summer, would I be able to do my GDL online or would the firm expect us to attend physical classes?

Thank you!!

A firm may want to understand your rationale for attending an online course, and if you are expecting them to pay for it and give you a maintenance grant they may decide to not give you the latter depending on where you are studying from.

If they are paying for the course and giving you a maintenance grant, I suspect most people will want to go to a face to face class with their fellow future trainees though.

Before choosing the online option, I would encourage you to get the provider to disclose pass dates for the online class compared to the face to face classes.

Thank you so much for your reply! I'll look into that!
