[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 205605, member: 2672"] Point 2: The issue is QWE is that you can get it signed off and submitted to the SQE at any time, so what you say you would do and what you actually might do could be two different things. But generally, there will be some benefits of not getting QWE signed off before starting a TC - the main one is you will be seen as less of a flight risk. It is feasible that someone could do 12 months of a TC, use another 12 months experience elsewhere and then leave half way through the TC if they have secured an NQ role elsewhere. That is less likely to happen when someone is not qualified, although not impossible now people can move from firm to firm as a trainee too. Point 3: In my opinion it is one of the downsides of the SQE qualification route. It will lead to more people qualifying who are not set up for the NQ job market. However, it is a double edged sword - we are seeing some people outside of TCs qualify with great QWE get into NQ roles because they have equivalent work experience or even higher quality work experience than trainees. It really does depend on the quality of the QWE people submit rather than it being TC vs a non-TC qualification route preference. [/QUOTE]
