[QUOTE="Kelly_, post: 70357, member: 8562"] Hi all! I am currently debating whether to take the SQE or LPC. I am currently taking a year out, having graduated last year, so I definitely want to start either in the coming year. I am thinking of doing it part-time and working alongside as I don't see how I will otherwise be able to afford it, I also have not secured a TC yet. I was leaning towards the SQE because part-time this is shorter than the 2-year LPC (from what I believe but this is actually not clear from the university of law website). I also thought that it would be cheaper, however, the University of Law costs are still quite high in my opinion. - The LLM SQE is £16,500 (same as LPC) - SQE Prep 1 - £5,500 - SQE Prep 2 - £5,500 The prep courses separately do not cover the actual exam fees either, I am also unclear whether the LLM version does include the exam fees? However, I am also very conscious that law firms are wary of the SQE and although I will be able to qualify as a solicitor due to the broad range of QWE this will not automatically mean that I will be able to obtain a NQ position within a law firm - and it will basically move the competition from applying for a TC further down the line (if that makes sense) - I also know that Alice has mentioned this issue on here before but I was just wondering if there were any new opinions or thoughts on this. I am not sure if this all makes sense especially as I'm still very confused about the whole process myself 😂 [/QUOTE]
