    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Not sure if this has been shared. Browne Jacobson have announced that they are hiring Trainees for March 2022 and will consider part-time LPC students. Academic requirements have been removed...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I have finally been offered a vacation scheme by a firm I'm really keen on! However, due to difficulties with annual leave, I may be unable to undertake the scheme (it is 2 weeks plus a separate 1 day event as the final stage). GR said they completely understand and they said I should apply...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I've only briefly read the above discussion. As an ethnic minority (this does not qualify my opinion but always seems to be the go-to), I think a few comments are harsh on @Jessica Booker. I don't think Jessica necessarily intended to imply that it is the candidate's issue when it comes to...

    I had my AC yesterday and they confirmed this @Ali2020 - we were the last group for ACs.

    Seems like Kennedys are finally being honest with themselves about their organisation!

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Off-topic question but was wondering if anyone here has used the LPC answered guide for their core modules? If so, how did you find it? I know materials are provided etc. but the sample seems to be clearer in its structure. Thoughts?

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Thanks for all your responses. Firstly, in response to Jessica - I'm worried about how best to spin this as a specifically business story unless I mention cyber insurance. But you're right, I might have an issue with linking it all in. I was thinking perhaps to use this story as a base -...

    Ask 3 future trainees (Magic & Silver Circle, International Elite) ANYTHING! *New TCLA Team Members*

    Hi guys! I'm preparing for the inevitable "tell us about a recent business story that interests you" interview question and was wondering if you could help me out at all? I want to discuss the US Solarwinds cyber attack and then use this as starting point to highlight the increased threat of...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    I was worried about this but they have now confirmed that the fees would be covered in an email. Haha I highly doubt I was the only person to be offered this - you never know! I have now confirmed my place and they are sorting the IT side out. I will officially be a brand ambassador/social...

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Guys, I just received a call from BPP University. They asked me to be an ambassador for them, enquiring why I chose not to study the LPC with them (applied for January start). I told them this was due to cost and they said if I agree to become an ambassador for them (1-2 hours per month) - they...

    We should definitely have a 'TCLA End of 20-21 Cycle Awards'. Awards for forum members and firm's GR processes - although we'd have to make sure it was light-hearted and diplomatic to avoid TC offers being rescinded 🤣

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Congratulations! This is how I'd like those who manage to obtain a TC to share it! Show us your graft, your rejections and ultimately your perseverance - it genuinely gives those who have not yet secured a TC some hope and optimism.

    I did and received a PFO a few weeks ago post-app. Might be worth chasing them.
