I’m currently a second year history student looking at gaining a sponsorship from a law firm to complete my GDL. The majority of applications for a 2020 training contract have deadlines coming up in July. Does this mean that the GDL would start in 2020 and then continue on to a training contract, or would I start the GDL in 2019 to start the training contract in 2020. It seems to be that the latter would be the case but would just like to clear it up. Thanks
