TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Could you clarify the question please? Are you asking how you can talk about incoming vacation schemes in the applications you want to submit for direct TCs? Or have you already submitted the applications for the direct TCs and asking how to talk about them in any upcoming interviews?- Amma Usman

TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2024-25
Hi, Congrats on the 2:1 - such a wonderful achievement! This is not a question to worry about in my opinion. It meets the degree classification requirements for virtually all TCs in the city anyway. So whether your mention it or not, it does not affect your candidacy.- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
Though this differs between firms, typically, you will be contacted via phone following an AC or a VS regarding the outcome. If they can’t reach you by phone, they will likely send an email asking how to reach you, or send the offer via email. Though the former is more common.- Amma Usman

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5
The firm takes on roughly less than 10 trainees a year in total. I’ve quoted a section from one of TCLA’s threads titled “where firms recruit from”, which should provide more context. It seems they have a healthy direct TC intake as well. I also want to stress the importance of not looking at...- Amma Usman

That’s amazing. Check out TCLA’s WG prep course by Joe Mallet. It personally helped me work through understanding the nuances of the test better when I was applying. TCLA is also working on an exciting new project to help out with the WG. Keep an eye out ;)- Amma Usman

I wouldn’t lose hope just yet. I understand how tough the wait can be. In the mean time, try doing fun and lighthearted things to distract yourself from the wait, or even spend time diversifying your application pool by researching into other firms.- Amma Usman
