TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

[RPA200]

I gave it on 16th July. I wonder how are they going about it- if they are contacting only the people who have progressed or if they are doing it in batches.
@RPA200 when did you give yours?

16th July

Quick q about whether to focus on TCs or vac schemes

I'll be starting a job (in law) during September on a 1-year basis, + I haven't had any prior legal experience (e.g., VS). Since a lot of apps for VS + direct TCs open around September, I wanted to ask..

For firms which offer both VS and direct TCs, which should I go for? I'm not sure if I should focus on direct TCs because by the time I apply, I might have only been in my job for a couple weeks/month(s) - is that enough legal experience to warrant a direct TC?

Thank you!

I think it is- especially if it's a month or two. By the time you start the training contract you will have the full year anyway!

@Ram Sabaratnam @Amma Usman @Jaysen having a bit of a crisis here, I refreshed by broweser and my Stephenson Harwood app submitted when I wasnt finished I emailed grad rec to explain that if they dont have time to reply before the deadline, I'll make a different account to submit and leave a note on the new application - do you think that is okay and will this put me at a disadvantage do you think? thanks guys! from a worried applicant :')
