    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2024-5

    Hey, I was thinking the same but then I received it around 11pm last night. I completed the assessment around the same time the night before so I’m assuming you have to allow 24 hours for the report to come through

    You’re very welcome.

    You absolutely do! Most law firms highlight how they’re after transferable skills and that their applications are open for non law graduates.
