[QUOTE="W5690, post: 209927, member: 3642"] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] Hello, Apologies for writing again, but I am still struggling a little bit with TC start dates. 😅 Indeed, I understand that I will have to make a choice between February/March 2028 and September 2028 (except if I am being sponsored by a firm and I may not then get to choose the timeframes, as you explained. They and the course provider are likely to choose this for me unless I needed to defer, as you explained as well). As previously mentioned, I think September 2028 seems like the most reasonable and sensible route for me as a "safety margin" rather than February/March 2028, according to the roughly timeline you mentioned that is so very useful as it has truly helped me see things clearer! : Finish GDL - November 2026 Start SQE prep course - anytime between November 2026 and January 2027 Sit SQE 1 - July 2027 Sit SQE2 - October/November 2027 or January 2028 I do not believe there is a "right" choice, but how to find the right balance without being too cautious and being realistic enough in terms of choosing a TC start date? Many thanks again for your help and your time. [/QUOTE]
