[QUOTE="Rizwan, post: 72572, member: 11691"] Hi [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] Hope you are well, I had a few questions I was hoping to get your feedback upon. I am currently enrolled in in January intake of the LPC (Part-Time) but due to familial issues I have the option to withdraw from the course. My initial thinking was to secure a TC whilst finishing the LPC and move form there but the SQE's introduction is making it tricky for me to come to a conclusion on what to do due to its uncertainty and also being so new which does not fill me with confidence I understand that by the 2024-25 intake, most Law firms will be integrating the SQE and leave the LPC route. Would it be beneficial for me to withdraw and just hunt for a TC with the aim to secure one within 2024 intake so I can avoid the SQE or just persevere through circumstances, complete the LPC and attempt to secure the TC (harder now as I am working FT). Doing the LPC now, not getting a TC by 2024 will most likely result in the firm I get a TC from requiring me to do SQE2 + potential QWE if my current experience does not fully count. What I found off-putting is to go through the LPC to then potentially still be liable to do the SQE regardless if the firm pays or not. Hence, I am tempted to take the gamble to withdraw from the LPC, fully hunt down a TC by next summer and just try and meet the criteria to still do this through the LPC route instead of the SQE route, which is a big gamble of course. I understand this is a decision I can only take but a part of me wants to withdraw and focus on getting the TC before 2024 intake closes but if it does not pay off, I can be potentially into 2023 with no LPC, no TC and liable to do the SQE, which I don't feel confident in (at the moment). The other part of me thinks finishing the LPC would be beneficial as I am comfortable in the course, can't make many but hope that I can secure one before the PT LPC finishes with a view to get into TC straight off the LPC qualification. I am very torn due to the gamble I am inclined to take but also because I don't want to look back with no TC and regret not finishing the LPC and having to do the SQE through my own funding. Though, the idea to devote 25-30hrs a week in TC apps alone and a view to secure one before summer 2023 is tempting me to challenge myself and gamble my fate. A few facts about me: - Law grad; - Currently a paralegal (FT) for a regional firm with another 2 years previously; - 3 months into LPC course. [I]Apologies for this long essay, just wanted to provide as much info as possible. Thanks![/I] [/QUOTE]
