On QWE I know an in house solicitor who signed off QWE for a trainee who did the 2 years TC whilst doing the LPC part time over 2 years and was very careful to make sure every requirement was satisfied otherwise the solicitor would be struck off. I don't think solicitors will be putting their careers in jeopardy to sign off people who do not have enough of the right kind of experience but the risk is more that the rules may allow a sign off on people who have not done much of value. I suppose after that the check and balance is that no solicitors firm will hire them as a qualified solicitor if their work experience does not look good enough.I am also concerned the costs  may be higher  - eg if you do the GDL fee costs are £9k to £11k with BPP. If you do SQE once available you do the course quoted above plus pay the large fee to sit the exam.  Those sums together seem to be not far short of the GDL fee just for SQE1.</blockquote>
