[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 213776, member: 30779"] I don't think that is the case. March 2026 means starting work in the firm in March 2026 Also SQE isn't a course per se - there are two separate exams, SQE1 which is run in January and July, and SQE2 in January, April, July, October. The delay can be waiting for SQE2 results - these take 4 months, so e.g., if you got a TC offer now and had no SQE, then: October - December learn SQE1 January SQE1 April SQE2 August SQE2 results (so about 10 months) September 2026 start TC In my recent VS some people had done non-law with no (P)GDL, some had done SQE1+SQE2, and some had done SQE1 only. So if you had done SQE1, then potentially: July TC offer by 28 July enrol on SQE2 prep course with Ulaw October sit SQE2 24 Feburary 2026 - SQE2 results published March 2026 - start TC The firm noted that they might offer for: September 2025 (subject to business need, and the candidate having passed SQE2) March 2026 September 2026 March 2027 September 2027 depending on the candidate's current position Some firms [B]only [/B]offer TCs to people who have passed SQE1, and some only to people who have passed SQE1+SQE2. So a March 2026 start would imply you've passed SQE1 and are going to enrol on SQE2 this month to sit it in October, OR you have already sat SQE2. [/QUOTE]
