[QUOTE="anxiouslawyer, post: 146764, member: 11127"] In addition to what someone else has said earlier about it being firm-dependent, I think it's also an individual thing - the firm might not be so kind to you if you skip a lot of classes (they do have records of your attendance) or they get reports from your tutors that you aren't doing your class work. If you've been ill or have any other mitigating circumstance then this should be communicated promptly. My firm's TC agreement did have the clause in it that said we are expected to pass all elements of the SQE programme in the first go. However, I do personally know a few people who failed and had to resit one or both SQE 1 papers and they kept their TCs but had to defer their start dates for 6 months to do the resit. Some firms were definitely more supportive about it than others. [/QUOTE]
