Baker McKenzie doesn’t require non-law grads to complete the PGDL and instead offers a shorter Law Foundation Course before SQE prep. This is because they use BARBRI as their SQE provider, which delivers courses entirely online. I have a few friends who are currently set to join the firm and have had mixed feelings about this particular approach to preparing for the SQE. While Baker McKenzie stands out for this approach, other firms also partner with BARBRI and allow their trainees to complete their SQE prep remotely. Some of these firms include Fried Frank and Vinson & Elkins (although this might have changed since my last application cycle).It's also worth noting that other providers like BPP and ULaw also offer remote SQE courses. However, firms that partner with these last two providers generally prefer their trainees to attend in-person. If remote study is a key factor for you, it’s worth double-checking firm policies and whether they provide flexibility.You can also find more detailed information at <a href="https://targetjobs.co.uk/careers-advice/law/which-law-firms-will-fund-your-sqe-preparation-lpc-and-pgdl-course-fees-and-pay-maintenance-costs" target="_blank">this site</a>, which tries to set out which course providers firms are partnered with and how much financial support they will offer to their future trainees. Hope this helps!</blockquote>
