I’m currently studying the GDL (self funded). I have one vacation scheme lined up for the summer . I am going to be doing a couple of direct TC applications now as I am aware that the firm I have the VS with have only 18 TCs available, with 40 people lined up for their VSs and direct TC applicants as well, so am aware that my chance of success is small. I’m also coming up for for my GDL exams so don’t want to jeopardise doing well in these exams for extra applications.
My intention was to continue on with the LPC (self funded) in September if I am unsuccessful at securing a TC this summer. How will this position me with regard to getting a TC with the introduction of the SQE? Will firms still be giving TCs to people who are studying the LPC next year? Or would I be expected to start the SQE route to be able to get a TC?
@Jessica Booker, what are your thoughts on this?
