TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2026-27

Hi everyone, for those who applied to CC last year and passed the WG, when applying again this year did you have to redo the WG?
Iirc the pass lasts for 2 years. So you won't have to do it again this year. They still send all the normal emails to you, asking you to complete the WG, but they will send on another email to you saying you already passed.
 
Currently sick with the plague going around London but got my OAs in. D: Hopefully they went well.

In the work experience section is there any rule of thumb as to how many work experiences to put? Also, what is the best practice for the descriptions. Allhires usually allows 250 words - should we use it for CV-like bullet points, or is that an indication that the firms are looking for a mini-essay?
