[QUOTE="ZH, post: 37641, member: 3774"] Hi! I did the LPC part-time and worked full time hours (over 4 days) - I know you're asking for a full timer's advice but I thought I'd share a bit about my experience. I think the LPC is intense as it self (right!) but it's manageable if you stay organised and committed to studying well and understanding it. I know of so many people who worked and studied it full time but I think they probably worked very flexibly i.e. as and when they can. Ideally when you complete the LPC you want it to be your main focus - will you be able to do this whilst working as a paralegal part time? Will you have enough study leave/annual leave for revision and exams? Do you want to use all your evenings and weekends studying? Those are some questions you might want to consider whilst deciding. For me, I was partly paying for the lpc so I had to work and I chose to study it part time to gain more experience. I worked at The Law Society, so it was a fairly administrative job, used my leave for exams and my focus was on the lpc - it felt better this way for me, I did well and I learnt a lot from this experience - it was my first time working and studying at the same time! Fair enough if you want to get it done in 9months (understandable!) but obviously you want to do well and not burn out! They advice that you treat it as a full time job and put 5-6 hours of preparation per class. Wish you the best regardless of your decision! Happy to help if you have other questions. Z [/QUOTE]
