TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26
- Thread starter Ram Sabaratnam
- Start date
Is the DTC intake Reed Smith for 2027 only? Ad their website also mentions a 2028 intake, so I'm a bit confused. thank you!
Mostly 2028 but they have some spaces for a March 2027 start date
I feel like they often get back to us toward the end of the day, I end up constantly refreshing my email
No they didn’t. See below:
Once you have completed the assessment, you will receive a feedback report. If you are successful, you will be invited to the next stage of the recruitment process by the Early Talent Team by Wednesday 29th April.
My invitation email and reminder both say that we'd hear back by Tuesday 28th April
I think the confusion might rest with the fact that in their recruitment process timeline email they sent on 23 April they explicitly state that the Video Presentation task will be from Tuesday 28th April - Tuesday 5th May. I'm guessing that's where people are expecting a response on Tuesday from.
Check again. Read the end of mail that came through on 24 April, 07:24.
See it below:
“Although the assessment is not timed, we recommend allowing approximately 60-90 minutes to complete all sections. The assessment can be completed in multiple sittings if required.
The deadline to complete your assessment is 23:59pm on Tuesday 28th April.
Once you have completed the assessment, you will receive a feedback report. If you are successful, you will be invited to the next stage of the recruitment process by the Early Talent Team by Wednesday 29th April.
If you require any reasonable adjustments for the assessment process, please let us know as soon as possible.
Strange, mine says this: Once you have completed the assessment, you will receive a feedback report. If you are successful, you will be invited to the next stage of the recruitment process by the Early Talent Team by Tuesday 28th April.
In the original invitation email for me on the 17th they said the deadline was 27th and we'd be invited on Tuesday 28th. The reminder on April 24 states deadline as 28th and we'd hear back by 29th. It seems they changed/ gave different dates. I guess we should go by the latest email.
Ah I never got the amended email, perhaps a bad sign? Either way, thank you for not being snippy. People got their wires crossed
Do you guys think it’s still worth applying for the Macfarlanes direct TC? I know the DL is end june so not sure because it’s rolling.
