[QUOTE="Sandrou, post: 6664, member: 31"] Hi all, A friend of mine has recently accepted a TC offer but is now panicking because the TC contract requires that "all candidates pass all elements of the LPC at first attempt". They have already completed (Self-funded) the LPC and passed the course but had to resit a few modules, which they passed at the 2nd attempt. They have a strong mitigating circumstance for having to resit the modules. Apart from this, their academic record is excellent, i.e., strong A-levels and high 1st class degree from a Russell Group University. Moreover, they declared their LPC grades when applying to the firm and mentioned their mitigating circumstance re only achieving a Pass grade. However, when completing the application form, there was no option in respect to whether one passed the module at the first attempt or not. In any case, is it fair to assume the firm carried out relevant background checks before offering a vacation scheme and subsequently a training contract or would the resit modules be a major issue? I have advised them to ring the firm to discuss the matter further. Any thoughts on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
