[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 150326, member: 2672"] Someone applying now could have to: - complete both the penultimate and final year of their undergrad degree (or do the PGDL if a non-law finalist). That will take people through to June 2025 - They then need to do the SQE, which will generally take 12 months from starting a course to getting your SQE2 results. - lots of people like taking six months out before starting a TC to effectively have a mini “gap year” before starting, and so like the March intake as they can have time out travelling for at least another six months. You can study the SQE in 6 months but it will take at least 8 months between sitting SQE1 and getting your SQE2 results because of the time lag in getting results for each assessment and how frequently the assessments run (currently SQE1 only runs twice a year in Jan and July, SQE2 runs every quarter in Oct, Jan, Apr, Aug). You can technically speed up the process by finding a firm who is happy to take you on and allow you to sit SQE1 and/or SQE2 whilst you gain your qualifying work experience. You can also speed this up if you are a non-law student by finding firms who don’t make you go through the PGDL before the SQE, but they typically won’t be recruiting so far in advance. [/QUOTE]
