Unfortunately, the stats for the LPC are never separated out in terms of the accelerated course vs standard year course, so it is hard to determine. However, the failure rates on courses where the firm has a bespoke course (which the accelerated course generally is) are typically minimal - less than 5% from my experience. The reason for that is the academic providers monitor your performance much more closely and ensure necessary support is put in place where they are getting the money and brand recognition from saying the law firm put their future trainees through their courses. They risk losing much more money and reputation if they screw up and don't support law firm's trainee intakes compared to individuals who are self-funding or where firms just reimburse their trainees to study at any provider.Wow, thank you for such a comprehensive answer. I was definitely leaning more towards the traditional TC and this has solidified that choice, however, regarding your point about the pass rates of the LPC vs SQE, does this change significantly for the accelerated LPC?; the firm has informed me that I will be required to take the 7-month course).
