[QUOTE="Cameron, post: 178145, member: 2474"] I was able to get my QWE signed off at my old job working in local government, however, I now have concerns as to whether I should continue down the route to qualification without obtaining a TC. I am worried that my options might be limited once I am qualified and feel that I will be considerably less experienced than a regular trainee, for example, having not previously had experience with billing. The general consensus from what I've read online is that going doing the QWE route without a TC is not well respected and might make finding work harder. For context, I am currently working in a data protection and compliance role which is a somewhat niche and competitive area to find work in as a solicitor so do not want to damage my career chances before I've even gotten started. I have started tentatively looking at TC applications to apply for later this year but am well aware this will push back my qualification date by at least four years and I am not sure if I can justify waiting this long as I have started my career later than most. My existing QWE route will make qualification a lot quicker but would appreciate advise on if I should continue with this or focus on obtaining a TC. [/QUOTE]
