[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 146693, member: 2672"] I don’t know the specifics of this poster, but typically firms who allow you to do the SQE alongside the Training Contract extend it to 30 months instead of 24. This is typically where you are on an apprenticeship and 20% of your time is dedicated to learning, and so effectively they add on 20% of 24 months and then round up. That is still generally quicker though, and the key benefit is you are earning from day 1 rather than relying on a maintenance grant for the first year. [/QUOTE]
