[QUOTE="vera.mekhonoshina, post: 216451, member: 30780"] Hi [USER=28543]@jdr01[/USER], This is a very fair question. In terms of funding for the SQE, have you explored the option of taking out a postgraduate loan? A lot of firms now structure their SQE programmes as an LLM/ master's, which would make you eligible for the extra funding - this would ease the pressure of covering living expenses. You are absolutely right - the appeal of a sponsored training contract is not only having your SQE studies sponsored, but also having a clear route towards qualification with a two-year training contract for the QWE. While I can't really advise on the in-house, compliance or regulation options as much, I am sure that there must be non-traditional routes to getting the required two years of QWE. I am sorry I can't provide a more definitive answer! Wishing you the best of luck on your career journey :) [/QUOTE]
