[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 120259, member: 2672"] This is exceptionally complicated due to the variables unfortunately, and it will depend on how the firm is supporting you/whether they have preferred suppliers/their start dates etc. However, if the firm is saying 2025 though, I suspect they have worked this out, and they are right about this. If you do a PGDL with no SQE1 prep included, I would expect the earliest time scale to be roughly the following, assuming you had to pass the SQE before starting with the firm and based on the current regularity of when you can sit the SQE assessments: Graduate from your degree - summer 2023 Start PGDL - September 2023 Finish PGDL - June 2024 Start SQE course - late summer 2024 Sit SQE1 - January 2025 Sit SQE2 - end of July 2025 SQE2 results are taking 14 weeks to come through though, so if you couldn't start until knowing you had passed, you might not be able to start until end of October/beginning of November 2025. However, there are some combined PGDL and SQE1 prep courses (typically MA level courses labelled up with SQE1 prep included). If you went with one of these, then the timeframes could be: Graduate from your degree - summer 2023 Start PGDL + SQE1 prep course - September 2023 Sit SQE1 exam - July 2024 Start SQE2 prep course - summer/early Autumn 2024 Sit SQE2 - end of January 2025 Be ready to start TC from early May 2025 [/QUOTE]
