After working since the age of 16, I left the working world to study a full-time Law degree as a mature student and single mum accomplishing a 2:1. I worked briefly as a legal advocate with the Children’s Commissioner before starting a family. Raising 4 children halted any prospects of attending an LPC course which was my initial plan, and I therefore worked in various roles within administration, finance and also as a self-employed consultant.

I had given up on continuing my legal studies to become a solicitor as an LPC seemed out of reach, however with the new SQE path to qualifying, I realised that this was an opportunity that I could not miss. I successfully applied for a position in a solicitor’s firm, and this provided me with an ideal opportunity to gain the relevant work experience I needed alongside my studies and it has also allowed me to qualify faster.

After 20 years, thanks to the SQE prep course with Law Training Centre, I am now able to complete what I started and become a qualified solicitor!
