Legal Practice Course and FE1s

kitchentable · 2012-10-15 19:19:24

I have just sat my first set of FE1 exams and i was just wondering if anybody knows whether the exams allow you to qualify in the UK? or take on a training contract in the UK?

You need to apply for a certificate of academic standing from the solicitors regulation authority uk, you may need to pass an exam then you must do the lpc 1 year full time or 2 year part time then a training contract. Was looking at it myself but don't fancy more exams and ultimately it's longer, same sort of thing for barrister route.
