[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 80780, member: 2672"] People who have completed the GDL will fair better in the SQE trials, as apart from self-teaching yourself law for a trial, there wouldn’t really be a direct alternative - at the moment you can pretty much only gain your legal knowledge for the SQE through the GDL. That will change once the SQE is in place - there will be many alternatives to the GDL. This is a really tricky situation. This September’s intake for the GDL will be the last one for which you can take the existing qualification route, which makes the decision a bit more “definite”. Normally I would easily say wait it out and wait to secure a TC and get sponsorship, but it’s not such a clear decision. I think it’s really a case of weighing up the opportunity cost of the GDL. To some people the money spent on the course will ultimately cost a lot less than the next person who is paying the same fee. To me, I’d have various important things I could spend the £££££ on and so to me the opportunity cost is much higher than someone who hasn’t got anything immediately important to spend the money on.
