[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 77730, member: 2672"] The GDL/LPC route will be viable as long as you start the GDL by December 2021. Any later than that, and you’ll have to do the SQE. Ultimately the SQE was designed for someone like you. Shortens the time needed before you start a TC (you could even find a TC before you have done the SQE and find a firm like Kennedys who put you through the SQE during your training contract basically on a graduate apprenticeship). I don’t know enough about the specifics of the firms you are looking at and what they are doing. If they aren’t communicating about it, then it will be difficult. Be mindful though that many law grads will be coming out of their course in 2024 and will have to do the SQE, so by 2024/25 we could see a general switch towards the SQE anyway. As I understand it, if you didn’t start a qualifying law degree this academic year or earlier, then you won’t be eligible to do the SQE. Therefore if you did choose to do the GDL, you’d have to make sure you went straight on to the LPC as that’s likely to be the last year it’s provided on mass. So I don’t think doing the LPC in 2025 will be practical. There will be some law grads (four year courses/part-time/people who already graduated) who will be eligible to take the LPC still by the time we get to 2025, but the reality is the vast majority of people will have moved to the SQE by that point.
