[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 40546, member: 7481"] I hope someone knows the answer to this. I had been saying you choose the existing route ( GDL/LPC/TC) or from next year the SQE route and you cannot mix the two. I was therefore very surprised to see this on the SRA website dated October 2020. It says if you have done the LPC you can then switch routes mid way and just take SQE2. [SIZE=6][B]"LPC or SQE decision tree[/B] [B][SIZE=5][B]Should I do the LPC or wait for the SQE?[/B][/SIZE] This could help you when deciding what qualification route is best for you. [SIZE=4][B]Your answer[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]You have done an LPC but not had an offer of a period of recognised training[/B][/SIZE] If you want to qualify under the current route, you could consider [URL='https://www.sra.org.uk/students/resources/equivalent-means-information-pack/']Equivalent Means[/URL] if you have relevant work experience. This involves compiling a portfolio to demonstrate how your experience is equivalent to a period of recognised training and submitting it to us for assessment. The fee for this is £600. Or We will also accept experience equivalent to the new [URL='https://www.sra.org.uk/sra/policy/solicitors-qualifying-examination/solicitor-persona/#tab_3']qualifying work experience[/URL] as a period of recognised training, so long as you have successfully completed the SQE2 assessment as well."[/B][/SIZE] It is the last bit which surprised me- that if you have done the LPC you can then sit SQE2 and qualify. I thought once you went down the GDL/LPC route you could not change tracks. [/QUOTE]
