So, you've applied for your LPC, but have you applied for
student enrolment with the SRA?
Before you start the LPC and before you enter into a training
contract, you must enrol as a student with the SRA. You will
also need to receive from them confirmation that you have completed
the academic stage of training.
You will need to submit your application to the SRA one month
before your LPC commences, along with payment of £80. If you have
any character and suitability issues, you are required to submit
your application six months before the LPC starts.
According to the SRA, online applications without character and
suitability issues will be processed immediately and if you have
completed an EN1 (for student enrolment) and CA1 (for the academic
stage) they aim to process 95% of applications within 30 days.
For those with character and suitability issues, processing
your application could take up to six months.
To avoid any issues with your SRA enrolment, our advice would be
to submit your application as soon as possible.
