TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
Prepare yourself for an ambush of ‘when did you apply’, ‘spring or summer’ and ‘what were your highest and lowest traits in the SJT’ questions in your PMs or on the forum anytime now haha. I think they’d ran ACs until the end of March when I looked at the thread from last year, and the...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

Aspiring Solicitors has been my saving grace for this cycle and I’ve used them in preparation for my upcoming AC which is with a partner firm. People can arrange mock interviews and contact mentors, who are usually associates or partners from those firms, who can provide advice too! AS also...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
They screen apps for eligibility then send stage 1. If you pass stage 1, then stage 2 is automatic. If you pass stage 2, then your VI responses from stage 2 are reviewed with your app in depth before they decide whether to invite to AC. Peak tbh but that’s how they filter a bunch of people…- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’m very pleased to announce that after waiting an incredible 30 days, I’ve finally received the long-awaited PFO from Covington at 11:32am today. Unfortunately this means Covington has failed to make it past 4th place on the league tables. I wish them the best of luck in the next cycle. :)...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

I’ve seen a few people post TC offers on LinkedIn from Gibson Dunn for this cycle so I’m assuming they’ve been progressing VS and DTC apps, but it may be DTCs were for earlier intakes. It’s strange though cos I sent my app just before Xmas Eve and my AC is in less than 2 weeks (for the VS)...- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner

The online immersive assessment is stage 1 so in that test it’s just SJT, WG and proof reading. The job simulation is stage 2 and that’s got an SJT, written task and 3 VI questions to answer.- Harvey Specter - Presiding Partner
