International student aspiring for training contracts

Hi everyone, my name is Adesewa and I’m currently studying law in North Cyprus. I have plans to go to the Uk for LLM SQE 1&2 by September 2026. However, I came across training contracts and the fact that they hire two years in advance. I’m looking into applying but I’m being limited since they all require assessment day as part of the application process. I can’t travel to the Uk before September and I have no idea how to go about it. I would love to know anyone who has been in my situation or currently in my situation and knows any firms that has accepted to virtual assessment centre. And if I don’t succeed in training contracts, how do I complete my QWE after my course. Thank you!
