Nope, unless its a situation where they have spare slots for the 2026 intake then I guess it makes sense. But on their website they speak about sqe funding and flexibility regarding start dates so I'm a tad confused. Might email grad rec!

It closed for 2028 starts at Christmas. They've obviously had vacancies come up for this August (I suspect failed SQEs)

Did anyone here apply to Kingsley Napley? We were supposed to hear back yesterday, but nothing so far

You have to have completed a law degree prior to sep 2025 and have completed the sqe before sep 2026. The vac scheme is purely recruiting for a sep 2026 tc start.

Also if you do want to apply i’d advice applying early/right now as i’m pretty sure it’s rolling basis and they are going through the recruitment process rather speedily.

they require to have passed the SQE before August 2026, I am assuming they are not sponsoring it for this specific vacation scheme

Hi all, sorry if this was already discussed but I can't really find it anywhere...does anyone have any insights re Macfarlanes stage 1 online assessment? They make a reference to a calculator so I am wondering whether numerical reasoning will be part of the assessment? Thank you!

It’s just a regular cappfinity test, so just STJ and Watson Glaser style Critical thinking section.

 

[TCLAuser2002]

Does anyone have any insights on Perkins Coie VI?

Confirmed in my email I sent, they responded saying you need to have a PGDL and SQE passed if you're Non-Law.

 

[bangarangbass39]

Anyone know what the BCLP test is like?

Any tips?

And how long did you wait to hear back to progress?
