TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Abbie Whitlock]

when filling in the work experience section, do people add their uni stuff like treasurer for tennis club etc?

Hello!

It's up to you, but I always used to include my committee positions in university societies in my work experience section! As long as you can discuss your role, main responsibilities, and the transferable skills that it taught, I'd say its a great addition to the section!

Has anyone received a PFO from NRF?

Just received NRF VI invite and my scores were 2/4, 2/4, 4/4, 4/4

I too have received a NRF VI invite. Can anyone give advice or pointers for what kind of questions come up?

 

[Ancika]

I have also received a VI invite from NRF. Does anyone know what kind of questions could come up ?

Has anyone done the A&O video online assessment part? I just wondered what the process is like - i.e. if you get given X seconds to prepare for the video and one attempt. Thanks!

One attempt to record but unlimited planning time - personally really enjoyed the process over and above CappFin/Arctic

has anyone got a rejection from NRF? I’m assuming those with 3/4 for most of the sections will have a VI?

I am waiting.. haven't gotten a rejection but I scored 4332, I assume/ hope that the benchmark must be 12/16 or smth

 

[TCComingSoon]

no

Was thinking that but thank you for confirming it. Will just target their competitors (Deoitte).

Weil have introduced a amberjack test with VI questions. As confirmed by graduate recruitment at the Legal Cheek law fair today

I scored the same so am hoping this is the case!

I applied and I’m a graduate. I made it to video interview, so if that was the case I think I would have been screened out. On the website it says first year onwards

 

[Hanzeeb]

Well done on getting to interview stage! Did you apply for PWC recently? I am unable to find the link to apply online... Any help would be great.

Hey I just checked the website, when you’re on the legal vacation scheme website at the bottom it should say apply now and that takes you to a separate portal with all the graduate schemes and internships.

 

[nonlawstudent98]

is this after they told you you passed the benchmark?

Hi, yes. I got the email saying I passed the benchmark

Has anyone heard from A&O post video interview for the Winter Vac Scheme?
