    Hi all, I know I wasn't the most regular poster in here but I wanted to post to say that I have managed to secure a TC to start in 2022 and also to thank you all for your help this past year. I have found the forum extremely beneficial just from a support POV as it has sometimes been hard for...

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    From my base knowledge from their Insta page, I believe they score each section on a scale (say out of 10). So work exp, grades, written answers etc. I am assuming they have a base number to surpass when you add all the sections together. Just speculation though!

    2020-21 Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion

    I applied for Manchester - I think generally I’ve seen barely anyone surpass the first stage on the forum? Could just be chance though! I did apply on the final day, not sure if that matters! It is a huge shame as I feel that once I get past the first stage I tend to do well (but maybe I...

    I also need to figure this out! Just had my third final stage rejection today and I am reaaally struggling to not want to give up. I think it’s harder to not be critical of yourself! Just know you have done so well to get here and I support you!!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Thanks Jessica - I am speaking to my supervisor tomorrow so I will see what he thinks. Would be annoying if I couldn't do it now especially as they only recruit from VS so I'd basically be locked out from applying!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    Hi all, Does anyone have any experience doing a vac scheme whilst also being a paralegal at a different firm? I have about 6 forms to fill out tonight (including a medical history form which I think is a tad invasive, not going to lie) for my upcoming VS and I am a bit concerned about how to...

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Which office have you applied to? I think they do them at different speeds. I know they’ve already made decisions for Taunton 2022 Direct TC but if you’ve applied to a bigger office I assume it will take longer due to higher numbers.

    KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

    Re them being rolling, I don’t think so as I applied to 2022 last summer and didn’t hear back until others did around Feb 2021. not sure about the 2021 one but I’d assume so!

    TCLA General Discussion Thread #2 (2021)

    How did you find it? I just did mine and idk if I’m slow but I found it really hard to finish in time and basically rushed through the last two questions on the deductive reasoning! I think the ones I did went well though :(

    2020-21 Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion

    Also.... I just want to say to people it’s ok if that’s not where you even WANT to work at. MC firms have never really appealed to me for a variety of reasons, and if there are some of you on the forum who feel the same just know you’re not weird and you are going to excel.
