TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Congratsss!! I thought they weren't progressing anyone till after the deadline? Also, Is it a pre-recorded voice interview?

This is what I have received, I also thought that it was non-rolling so I was surprised (but in a good way!) And yes, it is a pre-recorded interview but only voice is sent to them
 
DLA AC! Finally

DLA AC!!!! This is my first ever AC invite ever, I’m equally excited and terrified! Thanks to everyone on here for the helpful tips and general good vibes.
Question - what’s the likelihood of them letting me do another AC date? This one is the day before my FLK1 🫠😂
good j*b guys!!!!! when did you do your TI

also im basically certain that DLA would be able to accommodate your request to change your AC date, seeing how theyre a mammoth who host several ACs each year
 
Wait really🥲 I’m soo sorry to hear that.

I thought most get the stage 2. Unless lev fin is more strict🤔 maybe you have to write about lev fin in the questions.

May I ask when you applied > did tests and was it for spring or summer?
etc sorry just gauging my fate although never saw myself progressing super far with the firm!

Lucky you have BCLP in interview in Jan
Yes thankfully I have two VS lined up already so not fussed and culturally I don’t think I’d be keen to work there - I did the test when they first started issuing them I think in early November!
