    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

    Those GCSE requirements are for their apprenticeships, not for their TC. The reason they have those for the apprenticeship is because they are aimed at year 13 students who won’t even have A level grades yet. I don’t know of any law firm that has GCSE requirements for training contracts or vac...

    I am very surprised by how basic Irwin Mitchell’s application form & online assessment is. At no point do you even get a chance to tell them about your work experience or module grades / A levels. Are any other firms like this, and does anyone else think it’s strange that they have no regard for...

    This isn’t the impression that I got seeing as they’re advertising it as a vacation scheme which could presumably lead to a TC? I would be surprised if a large city firm like DAC hosted an unpaid vacation scheme in any case

    I’m wondering the same thing. I did the Mayer Brown job simulation a couple of weeks ago. I have seen that a fair few people on this forum have received AC invites as long as a week ago, so I’m guessing it’s likely a PFO for us.

    Has anyone else just received a feedback report for the Mayer Brown online assessments (situational strengths and verbal reasoning)? I just received mine and in terms of verbal reasoning, I scored either 'average' or 'above average' on all 5 of the elements they tested. I can't tell if this is a...

    Does anyone know of any big firms that don’t consider your GCSE / A level grades at all when deciding on your application (even if they ask for them)? For example, I know Mayer Brown is one such firm: they ask for all of your grades from GCSE to degree level during your application, but only...
