[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 28220, member: 2672"] Firms’ needs are not going to be determined by assessment centres dates. They will be determined by trainee intake start dates if anything. Plus it will cost an awful lot more money to put on additional courses across the summer. It’s not as simple as thinking that can be done - you’ll have to find academic and support staff willing to work over the summer. The cost of doing so will be significant - you’ve got to be pretty confident you would get that money back from a course that would only impact a small number of people. Lots of applicants come to this later in their academics. A higher proportion of law students and self funders are not uncommon for many firms anyway. Also, this is a good opportunity to test out the SQE on non law students. You could recruit them this year for a 2022 start date and potentially put them through the SQE in one year or less, rather than putting them through two years of the GDL and LPC.
