[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 75213, member: 2672"] You can do the SQE during a TC in some instances, so you may want to look to take that route instead. That could save you time because you don’t have to commit to 19-24 months (and that is if it’s full time) being committed to the GDL + LPC. Unless you start the GDL this year, it won’t be a viable route for you anyway. There would be little logic in doing the GDL now having a few years out and then picking up the process. The GDL would be fairly redundant by that time as most firms will have converted to the SQE by then and trying to pass the SQE exams when you have studied law in a while is probably not the best way to approach it - I don’t think many people would feel prepared for an exam for a course they studied years ago. Jobs don’t really happen at the weekends but you could apply for vacation schemes to get 2-4 weeks experience with firms. You could also look out for career changer events (a few firms do this and the Law Society tend to run at least one a year). [/QUOTE]
