I can in some instances. Particularly when partners will choose to take on their own trainees where they don’t have to rotate across departments.
Obviously 2 year “TCs” will be the norm, but in many instances they won’t be. I think about the departments that have very specific requirements (languages/non-legal technical knowledge). It will work more like the banks and how they recruit - there will be graduate programmes with rotations, but there will also be direct hires into teams who don’t rotate and just stick with that team for whatever period of time is required.
You’ll be able to study anywhere for the SQE - BPP and UoL won’t have a monopoly - it is the one thing the SRA have made sure of. The thing I reckon will happen more is the growth of private tutors. You only have to look at the type of organisations and individuals who have registered to be training providers already:

It will be interesting to see how the SRA publish pass rates though, which they are going to do by each training provider. How would someone who studies law at Oxford but then goes on to a training course at BPP be classified - by Oxford or by BPP or both?
