    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    The fact that people have been getting Summer offers has made me think it is a PFO as surely they would go through Spring first. Oh well nothing we can do either way

    Forsters VS offer! It was a phone call so they might take a while to get round people!

    TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

    I was thinking more if they’re running ACs, unless they’ve already ran them then I’d assume a PFO. Either way though you’re right there is still time just hard not to obsess

    Hi - they sent this link in the email invite which gives a bit of info for the VI - is a mixture of motivation, competency and commercial. https://www.charlesrussellspeechlys.com/en/careers/trainee-recruitment/apply/tips-for-success/

    I've completed it! I don't think you can prepare much, its a mixture of number patterns and vocab questions and is way less tricky/specific that the WG. I also found I was less pushed for time than on the practice one that is available.
