TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[BM99]

Yh I know. Few of my friends work in audit, tax and consulting. They’re not a huge fan of the ACA (if that’s what you’re doing). Would you leave before the 3 year training program if you got a tc or stick it out?

I am almost done with my exams (ATT CTA) so I will probably finish them. I still consider the qualifications to be valuable as they might turn into side jobs in the future!

spent a lot of time and energy on the application, but it is what it is.

Sorry about that😕 how long ago did you apply?

Me too oh well!

I'm doing my accounting exams at the moment.

I do enjoy it a lot and I find it very useful in my own life for knowing how to read balance sheets etc. Very little application to the law but it's a useful life skill I feel.

Good luck to you both I’ve heard they can be harder than the sqe CTA in particular the hardest professional exams. Your skills will be invaluable 😄
