Deferring training contract start date
I don’t think the university will be able to provide you with a diagnosis - only a doctor/medical professional will, but your uni might be able to refer you to one. I would potentially seek a medical reference before asking for the deferral as then you have evidence to back up your reasoning as...- TCLA Community Assistant

I am not an expert on this, but I wouldn’t have thought net carbon was something that originated from the pandemic. People have been talking about net zero carbon targets etc for a number of years now, so I think the connection to the pandemic would need to be a bit more specific.- TCLA Community Assistant

It sounds a little directive to be honest. You aren’t really finding out from the PA what they are working on to work out whether your work is important. You also aren’t really factoring your time - could you do the work if the PA hasn’t got capacity for instance? I think it needed to be a more...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - that’s my general advice. Basically if you have to copy in bullet points, I wouldn’t use them, but if you can choose a bullet format (like you can choose a bold or italic format on here), then it’s fine to use.- TCLA Community Assistant

I think it’s fine to very briefly talk about the pros and cons (maybe the biggest pro and biggest con) if you can do so concisely, but explaining the differences and then a long list of pros and cons would be pretty long winded.- TCLA Community Assistant

Deferring training contract start date
It will really depend on the firm and their individual circumstances. If they do defer your, it might be longer than you’d hope, especially if they can’t fit you into the next intake (for instance if that is already over subscribed). The best thing is to speak to the firm. It might be that they...- TCLA Community Assistant

No - I personally wouldn’t go into that detail. Maybe just focus on 2-3 of the key learning you took from the various presentations, because that is specific to you.- TCLA Community Assistant

Be careful to not over emphasise moving on from a role. This can often create a concern as to how motivated you are to actually do the job and stick at it. This post may help you on what to prepare for an interview...- TCLA Community Assistant

I think it depends on the context Things to consider as to whether it’s appropriate: Is there another section it could be included in? Is it at the cost of you not putting in a more substantial bit of work experience (eg a part time job during your academics or a non-legal internship)? Are...- TCLA Community Assistant

It doesn’t necessarily take two years to complete as it is just a set of exams. Technical no course is needed (eg you could technically learn the content needed through being self taught). It also depends on the firms approach to when you start the TC. Some firms are doing the SQE during the TC...- TCLA Community Assistant

TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)
You will need to have a clear rationale as to why you won’t and be clear on applications of that rationale and saying that you won’t qualify. Many will not understand your reasoning when 1) you could qualify before you even start a TC and 2) avoid the QWE element of the SQE. It’s not really the...- TCLA Community Assistant

Yes - they can still review applications on a rolling basis and reject people, but decide not to contact you until after the deadline, dependent on the strength of other applicants.- TCLA Community Assistant
