Before that, I had some classic "young" jobs in shops, etc/I was able to prove my commitment to law, firstly from my "obvious" interest in the law from my career in the Police. After that, I could show that by choosing to change career and study law at a higher education institution, this showed that it wasn't just a rash decision made one evening. This was a significant commitment I had made to the profession. Finally, I attended a LOT of open days and networking events and had good reasons for not pursuing a career at the bar. In my view, these all made for a comprehensive and persuasive argument as to my "commitment" to commercial law.I was able to secure multiple TC's in my first cycle. Those who I know who have sought to change career and have really committed themselves to obtaining alternative employment have had little issue in securing a TC. I found recruiters and partners incredibly receptive to my applications and interview answers (you can read a fair bit about my story on TCLA if you so wish). In fact, they likely found it refreshing to hear about different experiences to the classic "I was in the law society and did X". This, as well with a proven history of achievement in employment likely made me a strong candidate when applying. You will likely be able to do the same, provided that you apply yourself correctly.There is a list of firms here on TCLA that will retrospectively reimburse your GDL/LPC costs. Ordinarily, it is good advice to heed that you should not finance this from your own pocket, as you may come out at the end with nothing, however, if you are confident you can secure a TC then there's no need to worry. It can be reclaimed back.If you have any further questions, feel free to post here and I'll do my best <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
