the problem is a TC is designed for non-qualified people - you have started the process of qualifying.

You have a number of obstacles here:

1) you need to find a firm able to offer you a TC starting in 2021 and who can sponsor your visa (most of these firms are currently recruiting for 2022)

2) if you secured the above, you could currently qualify part way through the TC, therefore negating the need to do a TC (fixed period of time, fixed training)

Your position is one many international candidates struggle with. The system is not designed with your circumstances in mind.

The SQE will make it more flexible in that respect, although is going to make the work permit process even trickier.

As you can become a qualified solicitor with the QLTS, you don’t need a TC. Many firms would therefore advise to build up relevant experience elsewhere and then come to the U.K. as an experienced qualified lawyer.
