[QUOTE="sheilay, post: 75354, member: 12069"] Okay, thanks [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] [USER=7657]@whisperingrock[/USER] So what would you advise to do in my case, if not GDL? Again, I cannot dump my finance career not knowing, if I will secure TC in the future. I will of course apply for TC this year already but I don't have high hopes. Tbh being realistic I see ZERO chances that I would be offered TC applying this year. Like I wrote before, for me it is surreal that a company would sponsor GDL/LPC not knowing how the person will do in the course (i.e. if will not fail) and having zero law background. I of course understand sponsoring LLB student though or someone from a non-law background who is 25. Respect to those who made it but for me, it is just too stressfull and too big risk to take. I would also not be able to do both courses (i.e. GDL/LPC or SQE long course) full-time for two years. I could simply (and sadly) not afford that. I can only do something part-time for a start (and see if I am good at it) and then later do a part-time (hopefully short) SQE course or get sponsored for a 1 year full time course (LPC, SQE, whichever new comes in), that would be ok. That's why I have asked previously, if you know any people who started TC during LPC. Of course my other option would be to wait until next year when unis will start to offer a (long?) SQE prep course but I would again lose at least 8months. Sorry for bothering you with so many questions but it is indeed a difficult one.. [/QUOTE]
