You will get to know the earlier cohort though (that is by no means a bad thing - you'll have people/friends you know who are six months ahead of you that you can seek advice/guidance from). You could also put effort in to get to know your trainee cohort through other means outside of studying the LPC.Given both of those things, I don't think it is very important at all.The gap in knowledge point could also apply to the LPC to TC gap too though.But even then, I don't think the gap is that big enough to worry about it. I would go with whatever start date works best for you and what you want to do with the time you will have out.
