TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25

Has anyone heard from DWF post AC?

Hi! Just wondering what do students normally do if they fail to secure a TC or VS in their Final Year. Do they self-fund the SQE or do most take a gap year and spend the year applying to all firms? What would you suggest for an International Student (considering they need to apply for the Graduate Visa and also universities).
I would like to hear your thoughts on this. A friend of mine is a Final Year and he is wondering what to do next, considering that he is graduating this summer and he is an International Student.

Thank you so much!! @Jessica Booker @Andrei Radu @Ram Sabaratnam

Plenty of people do both. So there isn’t really a right path to take or one where more people do one over the other.

I think you have to weigh up a lot of personal choices in this decision and therefore I wouldn’t say there is one recommended path to take.

Hey guys I saw on here some people were asking if they have heard back from Stephenson hardwood but I got an email on Tuesday it was like their auto-generated one but I was wondering if anyone else got that or if they know what that means😭

Will the Accelerator programme still be up on the portal during the summer to prepare for the summer vacation schemes? ☺️

The programme will run until the end of May but the recorded content will be available on the platform after then.

I don’t think this is a fair thing to say. Just because you get a VS, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get the Training Contract. Often, less than half do. So, I don’t think it’s kind to guilt people for wanting to take the opportunities offered to them.

Regardless, I wish you all the best with getting off the waitlist.

That’s not what I’m saying, all I meant was if people have accepted other schemes/ are unable to attend CRS’ scheme dates they should take themselves off the reserve list.

At the rate PW are going, there should be like a support group for being aired by them…

“Hi my name is…. And I have fallen victim to PW”

CRS Spring VS! Does anyone have tips or resources to prepare for a pre-VS written assessment?

 

[badmintonflyinginsect]

Hi! Sorry to put this here but not sure where else to post! I love TCLA and its been a huge help for me, but I have struggled getting help from the support team. I lost access to my TCLA premium at least 5 months ago but am still being charged each month. I've put in 3-4 requests to have this fixed but still no luck getting a response (maybe the zendesk thing isn't working?). How can I get this fixed and possibly get my money back since it's a lot for me as a student :/

Hi there - please can you email me at jess@thecorporatelawacademy.com and copy in the usual Zendesk email and I will look into this today.
