[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 37454, member: 2672"] The first set of SQE exams are currently November 2021 as I understand it (although could easily have been pushed back). Firms could allow people to take the SQE route prior to 2024, but my point goes back to many firms not wanting dual qualification processes and also that many are super wary of the SQE - they have little trust in it at the moment. So for many firms they are sticking to the existing route because it is far less risky. As the GDL can now be started next Autumn, it means non-law students graduating this year can still take the existing training contract route. Therefore the existing route is viable for anyone who wants to start a training contract before 2024. By 2024, the non-law graduates who graduated in 2022 will only be able to take the SQE route (as the GDL won't exist for them anymore), so this is why many firms are changing their approach by then and switching to the SQE from 2024 onwards. I think this is going to be a key consideration for people applying to firms at the moment though - whether they are willing to support you through different routes, or dictate which route you take. Also, it will be interesting to see how firms approach the SQE - it sounds like for some you will have to pass both SQE1 and SQE2 before evening joining, while others you will start your TC and undertake the SQE at the same time with the hope you will pass by the time your 2 year QWE is up.
