There is not really any difference between a legal internship and a vacation scheme apart from the name. It sounds like you have enough legal experience and a lot of non legal work experience and so I would say you should have no hesitations in applying for TC/Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeships
Thank you very much for clarifying that. I thought recruiters would have looked at it differently because I cant say that it was a vacation scheme. However, I realised that I was completing a lot of work during the work experience. I ended up being given more work to do compared to the vac schemers I completed the internship with.

They really won’t look at it any differently just by name. They will look at what you did on the scheme as an indicator of its value.
