    You can also do the course part-time online! I've found online fees are nearly 2k cheaper than London campus-based courses :)

    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2021-22 (#1)

    Hi all, so I'm applying for a TC where the majority of the application is a cover letter. They say the *maximum* word count is 1000 words which to me seem a fair bit- do we think I have to utilise the full 1000? or would it be better to go in at 750-800?

    PGDL/MA Law (Conversion) Providers

    So the online study commitment is exactly the same as those who study in person- the course requires about 45 hours of study per week although you can often find yourself doing more or less depending on the topics you study that week and whether you get stuck on a concept. The only thing I find...

    WBD Application Question 2022

    Thanks for creating this thread Asil! I'm going to do a bit of brainstorming soon so will add that to this discussion when I do!
