    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi everyone, I hope these questions are ok. I've secured four vacation schemes for this cycle: two for spring and two for summer. 1. When should I hear back regarding a TC from the Spring firms? Will they make a decision straight after the scheme or will I need to wait until they've had their...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Really needing some support and motivation here. I got two vacation schemes this year (sort of). Firm 1 (F1) I had a cancelled vacation scheme last year that was moved to spring this year. Firm 2 (F2) was a direct-TC application last year and after the final stage assessment in Spring this year...

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Looking for a bit of advice. Two weeks ago I was taken to hospital by ambulance with an irregular ECG - turns out I have a virus (not Covid) and I'm still off work and not well. On the Friday (two days after my hospital admission), I had a training contract final partner interview - I attended...

    I have an AC tomorrow where they've said that the written exercise will be a "memo" - what does this actually mean? Is that just an email or a letter? Any tips would be really appreciated.

    Has anyone had adjustments for colourblindness on online assessments where you might not be able to see the questions or the task because of the colours that are set up? Apparently, because colourblindness isn't recognised as a disability under the Equality Act 2010, firms don't have to make any...

    Does anyone know if Kingsley Napley fund the LPC because they've said they provide a "grant towards the study of the LPC" - which, to me, sounds like they don't actually fund the whole thing, they just contribute to it...but I'm not sure.

    Thank you. I'm not intending to lie because I'd have to be "sick" and being sick would still have an expectation that I'm contactable by phone and email all day - which I wouldn't be able to be. Having said that, I have a toddler so I definitely go back to work after a break more tired than...

    I'm a teacher - so I get school holiday off. Otherwise you can apply for leave for things like close family funerals etc but you don't get to take holiday. It's not the employers fault, it's just how it works because obviously that's how schools are.

    Luckily it's not two weeks...but still. I'll work for anyone at this stage - I'm easy. Sign me up to Goldman Sachs after today's headlines. I'm just going to get drunk and think about it on Sunday (my head will hurt too much tomorrow).

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    It's not an option - I don't get to choose when I take time off. I'm honestly so upset. They are 1000000% aware that I applied for a Direct TC and I told them it's because I cannot attend a vacation scheme so to just expect it when I've gone through the entire process for the direct TC was just...

    It was the firm. I applied for a Direct TC because I cannot, at all do a VS because of my current employment. They've just offered me the VS. I literally don't know what to do. Ahhhhhhhhhhh

    I just had a missed call from a mobile number I don't recognise (no previous texts from it or anything) and nothing coming up on Google. I thought it might be a firm calling but from home (although I assumed they'd have a redirect or something) - has anyone received their firms phone calls with...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Personally, I wouldn't put in work experience I hadn't done yet. So, I'd definitely include a vacation scheme I've completed but not one that's coming up. That's just my personal opinion.

    There was talk of a firm saying an interview was at their office because they hadn't updated the email from previous cycles. Could this be the case?

    I had an AC on the 25th Feb (the final AC for a direct-TC application - literally the final hurdle). They said they're aiming to get back to us the following week but because they're very busy this cycle they're saying they'll get back to us by mid-March. At what stage is it reasonable to email...
