@Jessica Booker i'm an international student and i managed to secure a spring vac scheme; assuming I successfully convert it, when i apply for the extension of my visa, do i apply for the student one (as i will be studying my SQE 1+2) or do i apply for the skilled worker one (as the firm will be sponsoring the course)

Hi, what did you apply for and when did you apply? I applied for the summer VS and the TC near deadline day and never heard back
My application was for all Spring failing that Summer VS.

They said "
If you have applied for a vacation scheme, we will be in touch in early February.

"

Sent 3 January
Proofreading task sent 30 January to be completed by 5 February. Completed 3 February.

If you check in allhires then it will show any emails sent by them.

I would suggest:
1) if you haven't heard from them then probably it's a no, but maybe summer VS they will hold some in reserve?
2) the proofreading task seems to be pass/fail - anyone who passed is going to the AC
