Is it not a guaranteed PFO tho? Like they already gave out their AC slots to people on Monday

yeah pretty much😭

Might be major copium but surely they cant do all direct TC ACs for both 27 + 28 intakes in 4 days? (going off what someone mentioned about AC slots being between 8-11th)

I'm also a bit confused because they're supposed to be doing AC outcomes for the summer vac this week at the same time - but I don't think anyone has heard back yet. Wow but kudos to them, they have a lot of reviewing to do and decisions to make 😭

Could anyone confirm what Freshfields' Stage 1 Online Test involves?

it's basically like what's on their Preparation Plus site. it's SJT and critical thinking exercises.
I'm pretty sure then in Stage 2 there will be VIs and other elements.

Hope that helps!

Heya, does anyone know the VI format for Freshfields stage 2?

Does anyone know roughly when we can expect BCLP to open their applications for a Manchester vac scheme/TC?
