[QUOTE="mattsam, post: 6487, member: 1293"] Hi All, Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and answer this post. I have recently been fortunate enough to have been offered a training contract in London with my dream firm. While, I have accepted and signed the contract of employment, I am in fear that I may lose the training contract once I go through the full verification process as a result of the the firms A-Level requirements. The firm in question requires AAB at A-Level and as a candidate who did not take A-Levels in high school, it has been quite hard for me to find a uniform guide that allows me to compare my qualifications to A-Levels. If I go purely by a UCAS point comparison, I exceed AAB at A-Level. Yet, if I go by various University equivalence guides, I tend to fall short by a grade. I was wondering if anyone had been in a similar position or if anyone knew whether a law firm would give a candidate the benefit of the doubt and let them through provided that they can prove that they have an AAB at A-Level equivalent one way or another (UCAS points or an Alternative). Apologies if this sounds rather confusing, but it has tearing me up over the fear that I may have to start the whole application process again. NB:Additionally, there is nothing on the firms website that appears to answer this question. [/QUOTE]
