[QUOTE="College of Legal Practice team, post: 152508, member: 29422"] Hi, at The College of Legal Practice, we agree that you could show your commitment in different ways to prospective employers and if you are already working in professional services that will greatly help your applications. However, if you haven't done a law degree in the UK, we would be recommending completing a conversion course before you start SQE prep once you get to that stage, as will the majority of firms. Learning all 13 practice areas for SQE1 from scratch is very difficult if you don't have a law degree. We have a Graduate Foundation in Law that you could consider, alongside GDLs (in fact our GFL will soon become a GDL), so as this is the first step the firms will be wanting you to take anyway towards qualification, you wouldn't be wasting your time, but some firms will fund you through the conversion course too. It is worth asking the recruiters from the firms that you are most interested in applying too as well, as they are taking different approaches. Hope that helps Alice [/QUOTE]
