    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    I received the exact same email, I think you might have misunderstood it. I'm pretty sure it means they were able to fully recruit trainees from the vac scheme and aren't considering any direct TC applications. To be honest it's worded like a generic email sent out to all applicants, I don't...

    I'm assuming the person you're replying to applied for one of the regional offices.
