TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

I only applied to Taunton as I liked the VS practice areas they offer there. I was gonna put another option, but I didn't like the fact that they ask you to substantiate your choice, and felt like 'convenient location' wasn't good enough 😂

Their requirement of 'being over 18' as the only eligibility criteria for a VS is a unique one, can't argue with that
Oh my goodness, I just realised I'm pretty sure for that question I did basically say convenient location 🤦‍♀️ You are so right though they were definitely looking for a practice area answer, oops I hope that doesn't cost me the VS, how silly.

Also yes, I imagine they probably get a lot of applications because of their very minimal requirements lol.
