I could have sworn that on the AC for the Manchester TC they said this was the last stage of the application process.
I am pretty certain for the London TC there isn't a partner interview and this is mainly for the SQE route - may not be the same for Manchester but I would assume they would do same route for all TC's

Its the thought that if I had to wait 6 weeks to get a PFO that is lowkey getting to me 🥹 *manifesting TC offers for us*
I know; it’s so hard not to hover over your phone all day. I am trying to also keep in mind that they are opening their applications for the 2025 TC’s in May, so I am hopeful that they will get back to us (hopefully this week) before the next application round starts!
