It is only really a good idea if the firms you are looking to apply to only recruit 6-12 months in advance of a training contract starting and/or you are looking to apply to very small firms who only recruit trainees on an ad-hoc basis.
Firms recruiting for 2026/7 training contracts cannot recruit many LPC graduates - this year's second year law undergraduates cannot do the LPC. So 2025 is really the last trainee intake we will see a considerable amount of trainees qualifying via the LPC route.
If you do the LPC, there is a reasonable chance you will have to do SQE2 anyway.
