As she mentioned, the start date of your training contract depends quite a bit on the firm. Most firms tend to recruit trainees around two years in advance, so if you’re doing a vacation scheme this year, it’s likely you’d be starting in 2027. That said, some firms do occasionally offer earlier start dates depending on their internal needs. If you’re happy to share which firm you’re applying to, I’d be more than happy to check whether there’s any guidance available (they don’t always make it obvious lol).In terms of what to do before the SQE, it really comes down to how much time you have and what kind of experience you want to get out of the next year or so. I’d suggest starting to revise the underlying law a few weeks before your SQE prep course starts, just to give yourself a head start (but I wouldn’t worry about going too deep too early unless you really want to). I completely agree with Jess. This is your time before your TC, and you should use it in a way that feels meaningful to you. I spent most of my year working and then took myself off on a long (and fairly intense!) backpacking trip through Asia before starting my SQE prep with ULaw. I had friends who went to live abroad for several months to learn new languages, and others who tried completely different types of work - one of them spent six months working in a Michelin star kitchen learning how to cook pretty incredible food (and now I'm always knocking on his door for a free meal)! Whatever it is, I think it’s really worth making space to do something just for yourself before jumping into a course that’s pretty full-on.Good luck with your vacation scheme!</blockquote>
