[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 32144, member: 2672"] Technically the SQE and traditional TC route will be open to you until 2033 where you started your legal education before September 2021. However, different firms are going to take different approaches to this. Some will transfer to the SQE quicker than others. Some are looking to avoid dual qualification processes due to the various issues it presents in terms of employment rights etc, some are happy to have some trainees do the SQE while others do the traditional TC route. For some firms they see they will convert over to SQE completely by 2023 intakes, purely because non-law graduates graduating from 2021 won't have any other choice but to do the SQE. If you don't secure a TC this year, when you come around to applying to firms, one of the key and first questions you need to ask or bit of research you need to undertake will be if the firm will take you on a traditional TC (with LPC pre start) or the SQE route, and if the latter, what does that mean (e.g. start and undertake SQE 1 and 2 during Qualifying Work Experience (QWE), SQE 1 completed before you start QWE, SQE 1 and 2 before you start QWE, what happens if you don't pass the SQE etc). And yes, update firms if and when you get this year's academic results. Just make sure you can't update your application yourself with this information first. [/QUOTE]
