    TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    Hi just after a little bit of advice. This is my first round of applications and I’m coming from a non law uni background - so my focus has been on vac schemes. Alongside this I also applied to law firms for assistant/paralegal roles, which I’ve now secured so I am now also considering...

    Just after some advice in general, i've been offered a legal assistant role today, super happy as it gives me some more experience to add for my VS applications - however I don't start for a couple of weeks and I have some VS deadlines before then. Is it worth mentioning this on my...

    Yeah it's for the Summer Vac, I opened the questions about a month ago and they said 200, went to go submit my answers and they're now 500. Someone has said they got in touch with grad recruitment and they said it's now 500?

    @Jessica Booker Has there been any answers for this? I'm in the exact same boat, went to submit my 200 word answers and now all 4 questions are asking for 500 words? Don't want to write an extra 1200 words if it's an error on the application form :/

    Just to check, anyone else doing the BCLP questions, is the word limit per question 200 or 500, for some reason, I had 200 written down, but have gone on to submit my answers and can see the word count at 500 per answer.

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I have attended some virtual insight days with other firms, would it be worth putting their names down even on an application for a different firm? For example I've attended some events with ashurst and burges salmon, should I say the event and firm name for the HL application, or just the event...

    Hi, I reached the benchmark on the test and then within 24 hours received an email saying my application hadn't been successful. Hopefully, if you haven't heard back yet it's good news!

    Any tips on passing Ashurts Online Tests? Managed to reach the benchmark for HSF tests but my application then got weeded out. Feel like my ashurst application was a lot stronger, so really don't want to bomb the online test!
