[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 99758, member: 2672"] Could you clarify what you mean by taking the TC route? Do you just mean obtaining sponsorship? Unfortunately no one has gone through it yet to be able to advise. The first sitting for SQE1 only happened in November and no one has sat SQE2 yet (won’t be until later this year). BBP are right - it will be up to you and both routes are feasible. It really depends on many different factors that it’s difficult to give direction to you. The key one is what type of firm you apply to. Many firms will sponsor the GDL, other firms have created SQE courses that are basically a substitute GDL combined with the SQE, and will sponsor you through that. Others won’t though. However, if you are looking at housing, this is an area where there isn’t a huge amount of money and therefore you may find that not only do you have to self fund the GDL, but you may also need to self fund the SQE too. Some of the firms in that area don’t/didn’t sponsor the LPC, and so comparatively they won’t also sponsor the SQE. There is no harm in applying for scholarships for the GDL via BPP (or other providers) and via other scholarship providers as a first step though. [/QUOTE]
