[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 78996, member: 7481"] It is a huge dilemma for Sept 2021 law starters currently without a training contract to sponsor their course (and the last year ever with this choice). Question one is for those doing the GDL part time from Sept - will there be LPC courses in 2 years' time or will you end up doing SQE anyway? If you are doing full time GDL Sept 2021 then it's different - I am sure there will be full time LPC courses starting 2022. For part timers I would probably pick the SQE route. My only concern is what will SQE be like and who wants to be first doing new exams? Will it be harder to pass or easier etc etc. Law firms will not know about it. Which will they prefer people to have had? Whilst you can do the new training without having done the SQE2 courses and exam I don't feel that is ideal. You may not have the knowledge you need and I know the bigger firms want people to have passed the exams before they start the 2 years of training. Not relevant to the questions here as they are about part time study, but I did notice UoL seem to have a one year course for SQE1 and 2 ( a one year masters so presumably with potential for the newish student loans for masters) - shorter than the current GDL (even than the current BPP PDGL of 8 months) + LPC (even than the 7 month accelerated BPP LPC), which for full time students might be suitable - [URL]https://www.law.ac.uk/globalassets/13.-media--doc-repo/01.-study/course-dates/pdf_study_course-dates-llm-legal-practice-sqe-1-2-preparation.pdf[/URL] It is shorter than the city consortium's new SQE1 and 2 courses - [URL]https://www.slaughterandmay.com/media/s1salpk3/bppde-06347_law_city-consortium-graduate-flyer_may-2020_v4.pdf[/URL]. However a shorter course is not necessarily better. [/QUOTE]
