Hi All,

I hope you're all doing well.

In order to make this website easily accessible for all old and new users, we have decided to create a thread solely for the vacation scheme* and training contract cycle this year (2018-19.)

If any users have questions relating to applications, interviews, post vac scheme tips, guidance and advice, please post all your queries in this thread only. This will help avoid confusion, for new or old members alike whom find all the (very helpful and relevant) information a bit overwhelming to locate and comment on.

The vacation scheme cycle threads will be divided into three:

1. Winter Vacation Scheme 2018

2. Spring Vacation Scheme 2019

3. Summer Vacation Scheme 2019


All three threads will inevitably overlap in some way but please try and post in the most relevant thread to your current circumstances.

For those who do not know just yet, the 2018-19 cycle officially begins next week Monday. We all wish you the best and as always post any questions you may have.

Thank you all!

    Welcome all.

    We will also use this forum to post advice and resources to help you with your VS applications this cycle.

    Good luck!
