KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

Maybe it's due to the overlap with the old-route training contract next year and they wanted a clean transition between the two?

I'm afraid not, they gave no more details beyond 'due to Covid-19' - I just knew they were due to open October 2nd and didn't, so made an enquiry.

SQE - general discussion

Hi Jessica, Sorry if I'm being slow, but I don't understand why the 2024 intake will be the first intake where the SQE will come in, if the first SQE exams are Jan 2022? Surely trainees can sit SQE1 in Jan 2022 and start a training contract in Septemebr 2022 (in theory) or at the very least...

Hello, I went through a similar application process as a paralegal. Definitely know the success profiles, particularly the civil service behaviours (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/success-profiles) as this will be what you are assessed on. There will be strength-based and...

GDL vs SQE?

Hello! I have done the GDL and was considering going down the SQE route as I am accruing legal work experience. I know for the SQE, you can perform the steps in any order i.e. work experience then exams, or vice versa. Can work experience count for anything at all on the LPC route to...

That's super odd. Hopefully we will hear soon. Not hopeful though, if they've already filled the majority of their spaces using the vac scheme?!

Same here... hmmm definitely a trend here. I wonder whether they’ve reduced the number of direct training contracts available due to COVID. We can tell ourselves that anyway, if it makes us feel better :D

Hi all, has anyone heard back from Ashurst recently? I haven't heard since an email in February when I was told I would hear back shortly. I have since sent a follow-up email with no response, so assuming grad recruitment team is either heavily reduced workforce or furloughed. Thanks!
