Maybe, just my assumptions they will take as many as candidates now from VS and hopefully they will open 2028 TC later in Summer like Reed Smith.
With the 2027 TC didn’t it say March 2027 would they then expect those successful to start SQE post Christmas? As I did wonder this when applying very fast turnaround.
Hello! Yes, I received a feedback report just after I took the test-- but it was just a standard Cappfinity report (couple of strengths, 1 weakness) but heard nothing yet about outcomes. I think last year people heard in December at the earliestHi all, I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone else has applied to the BBC L7 Solicitor Apprenticeship? If so, has anyone who completed their assessment received a feedback report or heard back? Thanks
Massive congratulations!! If you are comfortable sharing, approx how did your feedback report look like? I'm wondering given the quite mixed results posted on TCLA after the Amberjack tests for either VS or TC apps! Thank youA&O Shearman Direct TC AC
They give 7 calendar days to complete regardless of the app submission deadline
Were the questions for IM mainly motivational? Were there any competencies? Did you have much time to show research of the firm and your experience or was it mainly how you'd react in a situation. Were there any watson-glaser type questions because I know some firms do have those types of questions e.g. 'conclsuion follows', even though they say they don't do WG. Any insights would be really appreciated
I guess it’s ideal if you’ve just graduated without a TC, travelling or between jobs!
Thank you Andrei, this is really helpful! Hopefully I will hear back from them
There has been 3 offers for AC in total on TCLA forums. One here and 2 on the vac scheme forum
In my view, having a VS without a peer firm is one of the (if not the most) impactful experience you can add to your candidate profile in terms of improving your progression chances. This is because it demonstrates that a competent recruiter in another firm identified you as being among the very best from a very large pool of talented candidates, which instantly grants you a lot of credibility and will make any grad rec think a lot harder about not progressing your application. Based on anecdotal evidence, some top firms even have a policy of automatically fast tracking candidates to a TC interview if they get a TC offer from a competitor. If I were in your position, I would therefore likely consider the WVS adds enough value to my candidate profile to warrant a reapplication.
