They called me on Tuesday to let me know but I believe an email was sent out a week before but there was a mistake and I didn't receive one, good luck 👍

Well done for getting to the final stage, I hope you get an offer! I did a final interview last week and it was nerve wracking , hopefully yours goes a lot better


Thank you! Hopefully,😀
Has anyone done a Watson glaser test before and know how these work? As in the layout?

Hi. I am helping my daughter with an apprenticeship. We have a couple of meetings set up fir September to discuss her desire. My question is does she just look on solicitor websites to see if they are offering an apprenticeship or is there somewhere else she can look.

Hi. If your daughter is interested in a particular firm then you could identify whether they offer an apprenticeship scheme through the firm’s website. I used websites including rate my apprenticeship, the gov website, and prospects website as well as LinkedIn.

Sometimes just searching for an apprenticeship and scrolling through the results is also really beneficial as sometimes the apprenticeships aren't really advertised.

Me too! Is everyone’s deadline for completing this Friday 17th June? Just trying to piece together a likely timeline.

Yes, I believe so.
I haven’t heard back from them
Is that a bad thing?

Thank you & no worries! I received a bunch of rejections & I know how upsetting it can get- don't lose hope! Are you waiting to hear back from anywhere else?

hi! They're taking two apprentices for the London office. No details about Bristol yet
The website says the AC will be early July

Did anyone else get invited to telephone interview with NRF, what sort of questions do you think they might ask?
