The PSC will stretch from 12th August through to 5th September for me (we had a lot of free choice over modules/dates) In your experience, do...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    When is it reasonable for a candidate to contact graduate recruitment for an update post-AC? Asking for a friend. Person in question did interview on 20 March and was told to expect an outcome after 3-4 weeks - still hasn't heard anything.

    Future trainee paralegal - post LPC?

    Hi, I've received an offer for paralegal work to fill the time between my LPC (completes on June 7) and my August 2024 TC start date. Do I need to raise this as a conflicts of interest issue with the firm my TC is at? Thanks.

    Gap between LPC and TC

    Hi all, I'm currently completing the final months of my LPC (final exam being June 7!) and I'm starting to think about what I want to do after my TC. My TC is currently starting in 2024, but I want to plan in case my TC gets moved forward to 2023. If this happens, then I will start my TC in...

    Paralegal work after LPC?

    Hey all, I'm currently a future trainee and I'm doing my LPC full-time, from last September through to June 2023. My TC starts in 2024 so I'm looking for some paralegal work to fill the time after my LPC. When would be a sensible time to start looking for paralegal work to begin immediately...

    LPC Accommodation

    Hi all, This one is for LPC students in London (or prospective ones starting this September). Whereabouts are the best places to stay for LPC students, both in terms of budget and convenience? I'm looking for accommodation ASAP as the agency I was booked with cancelled on me last minute, so...

    I went for airbnb for my upcoming summer scheme. I'd advise booking early, ie as soon as you get the offer - I managed to bag an airbnb near london bridge for cheap. I got lucky because I received my summer VS offer in January, meaning airbnbs were there for the taking. However you should be...

    Seems they don't reply to unsuccessful interview candidates. For context I haven't heard anything since my second round spring VS interview in mid January, despite multiple chase attempts. They also ghosted my application last cycle - never heard back. That being said I think they're still...

    Me and you both 🤣 Can bang out a 10/10 application just fine now but it's the interviews I took forever to get the hang of, I'm shit at them 🤣 Don't think you'd get four vac scheme offers just down to you being a medic though!

    Tbf 4 isn't unheard of in this forum- major congrats! My parents were cracking open the champagne after my first vac scheme offer, so if I was in your shoes I'd be pretty hammered by now. More generally, I think when people ask "how many offers do people get in their first cycle", it's like...

    Anyone heard from mofo post second round yet or are they ghosting unsuccessful candidates? Did my second round interview two months ago and followed up last week - they told me they were still making decisions so would revert ASAP. However it's now less than a month until the scheme so my...

    I haven't heard from them since my second round interview in mid January. I know it'll probably be a PFO due to the length of time passed, but I still think they're inviting people to interview - so don't lose hope.

    It's been nearly 6 weeks since I did a second round interview and I haven't heard anything (other than an email asking where I'm up to with my other ACs at the beginning of february). My chaser email from a couple of weeks ago didn't get a reply. Other people have had calls receiving offers 1-2...
