TCLA Direct Training Contract Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[alexandramonica]

feedback report comes around 48hours post completion so u should expect it sometime today. I completed stage 1 last Friday and didn't get an invite to stage 2... is it an automatic PFO?

Have you heard back yet?

Looking at LinkedIn - do Hill Dickinson even offer TCs to external candidates

Hi did anyone do the Browne Jacobson AC for the direct TC on the 1st July?

Just submitted my S&M TC application and just realised ten minutes after applying that I put the wrong TC start date (2027/28). I emailed a correction to them with my new cover letter explaining. Is this a big issue and possible reason for them rejecting me. I say this because they must receive hundreds of applications so this just makes it easier to cut down

Hey!

I would try not to worry too much about this! These kinds of administrative mistakes happen more often than you would think, and you have done exactly the right thing by emailing them as soon as you noticed with the corrected information.

I've also known people who have accidentally mixed up exam grades or included incorrect work experience dates on their applications, and after flagging it to graduate recruitment they have still been progressed through the process. The grad rec team are generally understanding that genuine errors can happen, and they are unlikely to hold this against you if you correct it as soon as you realise.

In most cases, if the rest of your application is strong, I wouldn't expect this to be a reason for rejection. They are ultimately assessing your motivation, experience and potential, and they wouldn't let a really strong candidate slip through the cracks over a minor admin error.

I would leave it with them for now and avoid sending any further emails unless they come back with questions. Hopefully they'll simply update your application and proceed as normal.

Best of luck!
