TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
- Thread starter Ram Sabaratnam
- Start date
Fed up with SJTs now. My scores vary so wildly from firm to firm. Just done SH and it was my worst one yet but one of my favourite firms
lol I'm assuming PFO, didn't even get the WG
The deadline to submit the WG was today so if they’re sending out invites they’re probs not done yet.
Hi all, I’m hoping to apply for the training contract at Slaughter and May that has just opened for penultimate-year law students, final-year law students, and law graduates. However, I’m not sure whether I’m eligible.
I consider myself a law graduate because I completed the LPC and have been working for a couple of years. However, I originally completed a non-law degree before taking the GDL. Does anyone know whether that means I would not be eligible?

Hey!
From what I can see, I believe Slaughter and May treats candidates who have completed the GDL/PGDL as non-law students rather than law students. Their website states: "If you are a non-law student, you can apply for a training contract in the autumn of your final year or as a graduate. If you are completing, or have completed, the Law Conversion Course (Post Graduate Diploma in Law – PGDL), you will be considered a non-law student."
However, as you have also completed the LPC, I would email the graduate recruitment team to double-check - they'll be able to confirm how they classify candidates with a non-law degree followed by both the GDL and LPC
Ugh no I only did my WG last night but you’re scaring me now
High verbal and numerical, and then 7647 but just nervous that I fluffed the VI and that’s why I haven’t heard back
Does BCLP have Watson glaser type questions in its assessment?
yes, but not all the types, unfortunately the ptsd from that test blocks me to remember exactly what types, it's also a bit different than typical WG imo
ah thanks, i thought they might sooner since they are rolling? couldn't really apply to vac scheme since i work full time so stressing a bit in general haha
Message Jaysen I think he can help you, maybe for premium members only
I submitted mine Monday last week and also haven’t heard. Has someone submitted their VI/Assessment for RS around those days and heard back?
I did mine in early May and ended up getting sent the application question stage three days later, although it may have been quicker as it was early on in the app window for them. I ended up getting high verbal medium numerical, 9719
Having said that I haven’t heard anything about an AC yet and I’m pretty sure they’re meant to be in the next couple of weeks so it’s not looking hopeful for me
Ok thanks! Yeah I’m not too hopeful either tbh, have you heard of anyone getting an AC invite already?
i got invite to the test/VI on 11 May, submitted I believe 19 May, and got written answers last week Tuesday, just submitted them today. My scores were lower I think, all I remember is I got 9/9 from digital and 3/9 for applied intellect (tbh, this one is consistent across all of my amberjacks lol)
