    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I think the answer to this is really firm-specific and I would do my research on each firm I am applying to - I think there is a list on this forum somewhere that indicates which firms save spots for direct TC applications - at these firms, I have an (unconfirmed/unsupported) tendency to think...

    BPP SQE

    Hi, Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I've heard similar things from others so this is helpful to hear that most people's experiences align. Also useful to know your personal experience with it and that it should be discussed with firm. Thanks again - super helpful.

    One AC I went to (which I was successful!) I was the only girl out of about 15 girls without a blazer! So definitely status quo

    LPC or SQE?

    Hmm should I be concerned then that my TC offer is to start Feb 2024 but haven't started SQE yet (with no view to starting it this September)? I saw that there is also a Feb intake for the SQE course I think I'm on so thought I would likely start then?

    LPC or SQE?

    Hi OB, Was it not an option to start the SQE in Feb 2024? Apologies if I have missed some background context in this regard. Also, if you don't mind me asking - whereabouts are you doing your SQE course? Thank you.

    BPP SQE

    Hello, If anyone is starting on the BPP SQE course this September (particularly those in the City Consortium Course, which I imagine may be slightly different), what does the timetable look like (i.e. is it spread across all 5 days or only a few days a week)? I am due to start in Feb and am...

    Anyone have any insight they would be willing to share as to differentiating factors between Freshfields and the other magic circle firms? They all tend to use similar buzzwords 'collaborative' 'international' 'innovative', chambers student isn't all that helpful, and so beyond Freshfields...

    hey i don't think it 'converts' but i think if you just get a student T4 visa sponsored by ULaw or whoever and whenever that starts would mean your graduate visa ends. So you might 'lose time' (i.e. the remainder of time you had left on the graduate visa)

    Does anyone have an idea of the right amount of detail for the Freshfields Work Exp section? Doesn’t seem to have word limit and box to put text says ‘Detail Work Experience’. So not much of an indication as to how brief/detailed. Apologies if this has been queried recently.
