Hello all!

Hope everyone is progressing well with their Training Contract (TC) processes.

I have set up this forum to allow applicants to keep track of updates specifically related to the BCLP TC applications for the 2025 programme.

Please share your current status, i.e., whether you have not yet applied, or have submitted the application and are either awaiting a response or have heard back etc.

Looking forward to speaking with you all :)

Thanks

Hi, I submitted and completed the test in September and have still not heard back (other than receiving the feedback report). Last year I heard back around 2 weeks after completing the test.
Hi, I'm the same! I did my test and got my report on the 16th of September. I emailed their graduate recruitment team this morning and they said that they were still in the screening process.

I highly doubt it but it might just be the case that not enough people have applied yet for a direct TC for them to justify holding interviews/AC as I presume they aim to do things in batches.
