TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2022-23

Has anyone received anything from Baker today or yesterday? They're being very quiet and I wonder if it's because it's their VS right now and it ends next week (makes me wonder if they'll make us wait until after that is over for WG or even VI invites)

I think they sent some WG invites yesterday, but not the actual test yet!

Hogan Lovells Training Contract offer received today, insanely happy and the perfect news before the weekend 😁

This is amazing news - congratulations!

If you have a TC secured and the SQE is fully funded by your company, do you get put into a special SQE class with just your trainee intake from your firm? And would the start/end dates of your course be specific to your firm?

It seems that the LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) is just over 13 months and runs Sep - Nov. But the firm describes it as being August to August. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Anyone heard back from Penningtons?

Any advice on Slaughter and May AC (for TC) would be very appreciated ☺️

There isn’t a set answer to this. It really depends on the firm your TC is with.

I'm curious on this as well, does anyone know when we will receive the test results? Just completed the test

I don't think anybody knows the answer to this, as I believe they don't even let you know your score... If you don't mind me asking, is the test administered by Pearson?

Anyone else still waiting on HL? Feels like such a long time now to hear back. 😪

I emailed them this week asking if I have been rejected and they said my application is still under consideration. Hope this helps

Has anyone heard from Baker Mackenzie post completing their WG test and how long did it take for them to respond upon completion?

Hi how long did you wait until BM send you the test?

 

[The Lincoln Lawyer_66]

Hi how long did you wait until BM send you the test?

Hi, I was sent the test Thursday before last and I submitted my application well before the deadline around late Feb. Just wondering if Bakers send out results before the VI.

This was not a Pearson administered WG

 

[futuretraineesolicitor]

This was not a Pearson administered WG

This is odd. Mine was from Pearson

 

[Lian Lian]

For the Bakers WG test, is there a time limit to complete it?
