[QUOTE="fusion, post: 145765, member: 29967"] Hi Laura Thank you for your kind words. With regards to my degree, I have created an account on the SRA website, paid the fee and had my degree validated by their agency as acceptable. Good start at least. Whilst on the SRA website, I see that it is possible submit an initial background check application for a relatively small cost. It would be a most unpleasant bitter pill to swallow, if after how ever many years of hard work and investment my admittance to the roll of solicitors was rejected at the final hurdle. In no way do I expect there to be any issue, but now that seed has been planted in my mind; I think I will sleep better at night if I make the application. A vacation scheme is a possibility for me according to my contact; a week sacrifice of annual leave for that type of experience I'm sure would be beneficial on my CV. Volunteering at Citizens advice is something that I am looking into as I work part time, meaning I have one day a week free. Part time study with the aim of taking the SQE1 in January 2025 is my target. The part time study will allow me to build up a little war chest, without selling the farm! This plan also is acceptable to my very supportive wife and family :) [/QUOTE]
