Hi all,
So I am seeing a lot of trainee solicitor roles now that are stating on the job advert that they do not want someone who has completed the LPC.
I will finish the LPC in August 2025, I took an interruption of studies for 1 year as I've been self funding it and was struggling to balance my job and finances for it.
Anyway, my concern is, if this is the case and now firms are no longer wanting those who have completed the LPC - what do I do???
I didn't convert my LPC to the SQE because I would have still had to pay separately for the Barbi exams and did not have the funds for this. Also, the low pass rate and knowing people around me struggling so much to pass SQE1 deterred me further. Am I correct in saying that I also will only need to do the SQE2 as this was my understanding once you have completed the LPC.
But yea, seeing this addition to job adverts now means I cannot apply for these roles and with firms phasing out TCs.. what do I do? Is it either direct TC or Vac scheme?
