[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 57590, member: 2672"] The LPC will exempt you for SQE1 but the GDL on its own will not. It will very much depend on what type of firms you are aiming for and whether they are looking to start SQE training contracts from 2024 onwards - it seems many firms are, purely because any non-law students graduating in 2022 won't have any choice but to the SQE. The risk with doing the GDL part-time is that you won't get in before 2024. If anything my suggestion would be to potentially look at doing the GDL full-time so you could start a TC in 2023 before many firms convert to the SQE route. But that's just my personal opinion and that may not be practical for many people. You don't need to make any hard commitment now though - the likes of BPP and UoL will be selling their GDL courses in August still, so don't get too caught up in their marketing ploys of signing up now if you are not sure. You have got a good 5 months to see how applications go first before making any commitment. [/QUOTE]
