    Accelerated LPC vs NON accelerated?! Help!

    Hi everyone. I need to make a decision soon on whether to do the accelerated LPC at ULaw or the standard length course. Could someone tell me honestly how they found the accelerated course as this is what I'm leaning towards? It makes more sense for me financially but the intensity of the...

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

    @amyemmm thank you! Really appreciate it and I hope you're okay too. I think I was really relaxed about the VS deadlines because I've got lots of paralegal experience already and thought it was unnecessary. It's only now that I realise most firms genuinely prefer to recruit via vac schemes...

    Yeah they said that in the email but it didn’t make sense to me! I guess they mean they won't base an acceptance/rejection solely based on the results of the test and will look at the results as a whole...?

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

    I was wondering if there was a thread which highlights the firms that recruit a good number of applicants via the direct TC application route? I missed so many of the vac scheme deadlines and my brain is being quite negative about my prospects now!!

    Fieldfisher 2023/24 Direct TC Application

    Hey! I applied for the 2023 TC on 30/01 and haven't heard anything since either. My application on the portal is still being processed. Has anyone heard of anyone that has heard back after submitting their app around this time?

    Missed major deadlines

    Hi @Afro, I just want to say that I really resonate with your post and I have been a paralegal for almost 4 years now post-GDL. A similar thing happens to me every year. All I can say is that I've only just worked out how to not be overly-anxious about application writing and the whole...

    Has anyone previously applied for Penningtons for a direct TC and was actually successful or got through to the final stages? I know they prefer recruiting from their vac schemers but I missed that deadline!

    Do you mean on their TC application? On the direct TC app for 2023, it's 2,000 characters with spaces per question, which is around 320 words

    No my portal hasn't been updated since 21st December either! I also submitted my VI in early Jan. I've seen others on this forum who submitted their VIs later have AC invites though, so that's why I'm not really holding my breath 😥
