[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 105623, member: 16764"] [USER=20865]@selfridges[/USER], first of all I would like to congratulate you on what sounds like a really interesting job and a great position to be in! I am going to solicit [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s advice here on the fine details surrounding what constitutes QWE and what you would need to obtain from your line manager to confirm this! I will, however, ask you one question - what exactly do you have in mind when you say that 'I now want to further my career and progress to becoming a solicitor'? What benefit do you see the qualification having for you in the long term? If your goal is ultimately to move into private practice, then I have a feeling that [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] will advise you to apply for a Training Contract in the general applicant pool. In the early years of the SQE and QWE, firms may be a little apprehensive to take on associates who have completed their experience in a less traditional environment. With the SQE and QWE under your belt, you may find yourself overqualified for a training contract but underqualified for an associate position. If you graduated from your LLB in 2016 then you should certainly not feel that it is too late to start a training contract in 2024 or 2025. There are plenty of people in my PGDL class in their late 20s and 30s! You may have some other reason for wanting to become a solicitor, however, which may mean that this is the right route for you :) [/QUOTE]
