Hi, so I just needed some information. I want to apply for the CPS legal trainee scheme for a pupillage. However I would be starting pupillage from September 2022 onwards.
Currently I am doing my GDL, and after that the BTC would be completed in the summer of 2022 hopefully. So anytime after that I would be looking to start pupillage.
However I am not sure whether the CPS looks for applicants two years in advance of their start dates, does anyone know?
Also does anyone know whether the applications have now opened, I can't seem to find any information on their site. its only in regards to the 2020 legal trainee scheme.

CPS does not recruit in advance. The winter cohort usually starts recruiting around feb/mar for a Nov start. There has been one spring round which was mine- I applied in October for a March start. You would need to have completed your qualifications in order to meet the relevant start date.

Hi
Just came back to let you know that this years application process opens tomorrow. For the first time there will be an advance start date. So trainees can apply to start September 2021 or 2022. This is a first so I would take advantage of the opportunity!

Hi, from discussion I have found the answer has mostly been at least an absolute minimum of 12 months as a CP. There are exceptions to the rule but those are people who had previous experience prior to qualifying. You need a good solid foundation in the magistrates court unit before thinking about transferring to SCP and taking on the extra responsibility. You need to walk before running and the foundation will pay off in the long run x

The thing about the cps is there’s a wide variation as to where people take their careers. Some become specialist prosecutors, some go into management, some do move on after time elsewhere. I don’t know about the trainee dc scheme but they are very different careers. It largely depends whether you want to pursue law or law enforcement

Hi, I had a quick question. So I've just completed the online tests and have been informed that I am still being considered for the vacancy. However, I have not received details about the video interview, which is the next stage. I though this was automatic like the online tests-once you pass the tests you automatically get details for the video interview.
Does anyone know whether you get the details in a separate email or just a few days later? I'm really confused as I'm not sure if I have actually progressed to the next stage.
Thanks.

All newly qualified trainees complete mags court advocacy it’s where you will cut your teeth as a lawyer. After that it really depends on your direction.

Just wanted to ask those who applied for the 2022 intake, did you still have to do a VI by 21st April 2021? I applied to the wrong start date and have emailed to get it switched over but had no reply. Not sure if I should still do the VI.

I haven't heard back yet. I thought the legal assessments and interviews were to be held in June, so surely we'd be informed by then I assume.

I have also made it through to the final stage for the 2022 barrister pathway. Am I right in thinking that the competencies assessed are: seeing the bigger picture, delivering at pace, communicating and influences, and making effective decisions?
