[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 187116, member: 2672"] It being an apprenticeship is not an issue - you have got a training contract, you are just combining your SQE studies with work. This is not a "weaker" format of training - it is identical to a training contract, you just study concurrently rather then prior to your QWE. However, there is a difference in the training model and the training opportunity. The training model is the way you study. The training opportunity is the exposure to the work you will do in your role. What is difficult for me when answering this questions is not knowing what you will be doing during your 2.5 years of the programme (e.g. exposure to work). If this is just conveyancing work (as you are suggesting), you are most likely only going to work in conveyancing upon qualification and throughout your career. You may find it you can move into more general real estate work, but if you are doing private conveyancing work for individuals purchasing homes, its going to be tricky to then jump to global real estate assets. It would be very difficult to move to practice areas with no connection to what you have done during your training. Although there won't be any restrictions of you leaving the programme, being part way through an apprenticeship is not without its issues. You will find it difficult to find another employer to pick up your existing academic training with your apprenticeship training provider. It's not impossible, butit'ss just an added factor employers would have to consider. [/QUOTE]
