    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I think that by applying to a vacation scheme you have more possibilities of securing a spot since there are more spots available compared to a direct training contract route if that makes sense. This is just my experience though. You should do what you can also based on your commitment and...

    SQE 2

    Hey @svb, Good luck with the SQE 2 preparation, I am sure it is going to be a long process but a rewarding one. I am set to start the SQE course next year so I have not many tips or resources to share. However, the SRA shared a video on one of the tasks of the SQE 2 which I do not know if you...

    Yes, it is an interview with 2 partners I believe and then if you passed that, you get the offer!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I think only the day matters if I am not mistaken. I would say that when you have these issues, taking the test as soon as you are available is the best approach because you do not want to be in a situation where you missed your deadline for a wrong calculation or because of some other people's...

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    I would wait this week and if you do not hear anything by mid week next week, then email them. I was in your same situation last year with some firms and I just emailed them reiterating how I would love to do a vacation scheme at the firm but I have another offer and I am compelled to accept if...

    I would not do that as this is not a work experience. You could potentially use your experience in an assessment centre to highlight some parts of yourself that will make you a valuable candidate at interview stage but I personally would not do that.

    Congratulations! Very well done! In terms of tips, I have talked to some friends who did the assessment last year and they said: Do your thorough research on the firm and always be able to speak on why you want to join the firm. This should include everything you find interesting or relevant...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    You will probably be able to send the firm an email with the dates you are not available, some will understand some will not, it really depends on the firms unfortunately. However, since you are still waiting and you have your SQE in 2 weeks, it is likely that even if you receive an interview...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    I think I have read somewhere that they take 1-3 direct training contract applicants but this might depend on the year, the competition on the vacation scheme etc, it is all very arbitrary. If you are deciding whether to apply to the vacation scheme or the direct training contract, I would...

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2023-4

    Did you submit? If you submitted, there is nothing that you can do, I am sure that it is fine regardless and they will pay attention to the content. I think it is more productive focusing on other applications/other things rather than dwelling on this. Good luck with the application!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

    Congratulations! Very well done!! In terms of tips, what I would recommend is: Do your research when it comes to the assessment. Pay attention to the information they provide on the website and on the email regarding how the assessment will be structured. Additionally, reach out to future...

    Too late for open days?

    Thank you for sharing your journey, this is always valuable to hear and read. What I would say is attending an open day, especially if it is not selective or give you a chance to get the vacation schemes (like the Latham one which is open to first year students) are very overrated. Graduate...
