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

[Vacationschemeapps]

Sorry for the questions - I just think it impacts the advice given. Have you done core law modules (eg contract/tort) but are just missing some that making it a QLD or is it something like a Scottish law degree? Just trying to work out what modules you have studied and how much overlap there would be with the GDL.

No worries at all! And yes I have done core law modules like contract, tort, property. I finished my undergrad in India (don't think foreign law degrees are QLD tho)

Anyone heard back from DAC Beachcroft?

Has anyone contacted the graduate recruitment team regarding the outcome post VI? If so, what did they reply?

 

[UnTCSilVousPlait]

Just wondering if you can apply for the NRF TC as a penultimate year law student? The website says that you can but the application form states finalists and graduates. The information is conflicting.

I've sent them an email to ask, but I've not had a response yet

Hi all,

Has anyone heard after submitting their TLT direct TC application? Or perhaps knows when they aim to reply by?

Hi @NataliaBetcher I heard from them on June 14 for WG, giving me a 2 day window to complete the assessment. I hope it helps.

Hey, thank you so much for your reply! I haven't heard anything at all which makes me think I perhaps have not been successful this time. My application still says ' In Progress' on the dashboard though, so I'm not too sure what to think.

Any tips for the Latham Test?

Does anyone know if you can apply for Freshfields direct TC after being rejected for summer VS application (so applied in December)? Their website states they do not allow two applications within the same academic year but I was unsure now its summer whether that is considered the same?

I have emailed but had no response.

I would expect it to not be a new academic year until September unfortunately (once the new academic year starts).

Unfortunately, your SVS application does still count as an application in the current academic year so you won’t be eligible to apply for the Training Contract during our current application window. We definitely encourage you to apply in our Winter Application window, it opens in October this year.

Mine wasn't necessarily a rejection though, I was ineligible for the summer vacation scheme, I just didn't know this. So asked if I could apply for TC as I hadnt been rejected as such. So I would assume it would be the same for you if you had been rejected.

Great, thank you for clarifying this - is the winter application window for 2024 TCs or 2025?

 

[Sarak]

Is the BCLP online test similar to Watson Glaser?

Not sure. Perhaps @Jessica Booker would be the best to clarify something like that.

 

[Jessica Booker]

Not sure. Perhaps @Jessica Booker would be the best to clarify something like that.

I would assume it is for a new recruitment cycle, and so it will be for a year's later intake than what they have recruited between September 2021 and August 2022.

They said they have reviewed all VIs and we should hear by the end of this week!
