TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
If you want to mention seats (this is something I did in my applications), then I would recommend doing in a manner that allows the reader to instantly 1) understand why you like those seats 2) known why you liking those seats is linked to your application. So, if you say that you like XYZ...- AvniD

Should I self-fund the SQE/LPC or look for alternatives

Should I self-fund the SQE/LPC or look for alternatives
Hi @n15! Linking this thread here from the forum that concerned a similar discussion. My best advice to you is to only study further if that's what you're truly interested in + if you see a direct benefit flowing from it with regard to your career plans. I partially self-funded my LPC and did so...- AvniD

TCLA General Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
I agree with Jessica. I think it's a good idea to raise your concerns with the firm as they will be able to reassure you even if they won't be able to shift you on to the 2023 cohort/LPC track. I think people can have a tendency to view the SQE as a concept where the cards are stacked against...- AvniD

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
So true! Sometimes you not progressing to the next stage is not in your hands- it can depend on the volume of applications, a detail here or there, an external factor you really can't control. Focus on giving it your best, introspect on the aspects of your performance that you can improve and...- AvniD
