Is the GDL equivalent to the PGDL for the purpose of being a sufficient conversion course for non-law graduates. e.g. if a firm requires you to complete the PGDL if you secure a TC, would having already completed the GDL mean I would not have to essentially repeat this by completing the PGDL? I only ask since PGDL is Level 7 and GDL is Level 6.
