I’ve secured a traineeship with COPFS in Scotland for September 2027 which is criminal and in the public sector. The pay and work life balance is decent but I’d like to move to London.

What’s the likelihood of getting a NQ role there after a COPFS traineeship? I’ve missed the cut off to apply for most 2027/2028 corporate traineeships here.

Is it worth delaying another couple of years for a corporate traineeship when I could have qualified through COPFS by then?

I’m 34 - time isn’t on my side so much 😂

My LLB is from Strathclyde (Scotland) but I’d rather do my Diploma at Robert Gordon as it’s cheaper and is online, meaning it can work around my full time job. Is this something employers care about or do they only consider where the degree itself was attained?
