Firm-specific model applications and expert review for London training contract applications.
We're a small team who, between us, have completed thousands of applications, sat in on countless interviews, and reviewed even more drafts than that. We were exactly where you are now: applying to dozens of firms in one cycle, sitting Watson Glaser tests, recording video interviews late at night, and showing up to every open day hoping for a breakthrough. We know how demanding and intense it all is.
Today we work across the legal industry as trainees, associates and careers advisers, and we built this because we needed it ourselves. A place that actually understands what it feels like, and helps you move through it with clarity and confidence.
Every service here is built to solve one specific part of the application process, and they're designed to work together rather than as separate, disconnected purchases. Start with whichever one matches where you are right now, and add the rest as you need them.
The Application Forms Bank is our library of firm-specific model applications: real applications, actually submitted by real candidates, that successfully progressed through the firm's initial screening stage and on to the next stage of the process. Each one is carefully selected and calibrated to what that firm actually looks for.*
*All application forms are anonymised, genuine applications submitted by real candidates who applied to that specific firm and form, and successfully progressed past the firm's initial screening stage.
Most applications don't fail on substance. They fail on delivery. Your potential is already there. We make sure it's presented in the way top law firms expect. This will cover application forms and cover letters alike, with commercial awareness talking points where relevant. We're not taking bookings just yet, but you can see exactly what's coming and how it'll be priced.
Open a category, find your firm, and add an Application Form or Review. Bundle pricing applies automatically.
Firm-specific guidance, and a marked-up model application if you've added a Review, lands in your inbox.
Application Forms land in your inbox the moment you check out. Send a draft for Review and get it back marked up, firm-specific, within 24 hours.
Open a category in the Forms Bank, pick a firm, and add exactly what you need. Forms Bank and Review pricing drops automatically as you add more firms, across any firms you choose.
A few things people usually want to know before their first order, from how quickly things arrive to how the pricing actually works out across multiple firms.
No. The Training ContractRoom is an independent application preparation service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any firm listed. All materials are original guidance and successful application forms, not official firm documents.
Application Forms are delivered to your inbox immediately after checkout. The Review service is coming soon: once it's live, you'll get it back within 24 hours.
Line-by-line comments on your draft, structural and content feedback tailored to the specific firm, and one revision round included in the price.
The Review service is coming soon. When it opens, your application will be reviewed directly by our team: people who have completed hundreds of applications themselves and reviewed hundreds more. We know what firms are looking for and which points to focus on to maximise your chances of getting through the application stage, and we'll support you through the stages that follow with guidance for interviews, assessment centres and more.
Yes. Bundle pricing is applied automatically across any firms you add to your cart, for both the Forms Bank and the Review service.
Yes. Drafts and personal details you share with us are used only to prepare your materials and are never shared with the firms or any third party.
These are early reviews from candidates who've used the Application Forms Bank so far. We'll keep adding to this as more people come through the other side of their application cycle, and as the Review service opens up.
"Having the actual structure of a strong answer in front of me, rather than generic advice, was the difference between guessing and knowing."
"I applied to six firms in one cycle. The firm-specific packs meant I wasn't rewriting the same answer badly six times."
"Seeing a real, successful application laid out properly taught me more about structure than any generic guide had."

The plain-English version of what you're agreeing to when you use The Training ContractRoom. Placeholder copy, worth a proper legal review before this goes live.
The Training ContractRoom is an independent application preparation service. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any law firm mentioned on this site. Firm names are used only to identify the relevant training contract cycle.
Application Forms and Reviews are original guidance, written by us. They're meant to help you prepare your own application, not to be copied and submitted as-is. Prices are shown in GBP and any bundle discounts are calculated automatically at checkout.
Every Application Form is from a past application cycle, not the current one. Because a number of these applications were written by the same person applying to different firms, some may contain similar content where the underlying answer, experience or theme genuinely fits more than one firm's questions.
Application Forms land in your inbox as soon as you check out. We aim to return Reviews within 24 hours of receiving your draft, and in the vast majority of cases we do. That said, 24 hours is a target rather than a guaranteed deadline: at busier points in the application cycle, for unusually long or complex drafts, or around weekends and public holidays, it may take a little longer. If that happens, we'll let you know. A Review arriving later than 24 hours does not, on its own, entitle you to a refund or free additional service.
All fees are non-refundable once your materials have been sent or your Review delivered. Our services are personal, prepared specifically for you, and delivered digitally right away, so we're not able to offer refunds for change of mind, for buying the wrong item, or because a firm didn't take your application further. Receiving feedback you'd rather not have heard is not, by itself, grounds for a refund: the whole point of a Review is honest, specific feedback, even when that means telling you something needs more work. The only circumstance in which a refund may be considered is a genuine failure on our part to deliver anything at all, and only once you've given us a fair opportunity to put it right. Any refund request must be raised in writing within 7 days of purchase, is assessed entirely at our discretion, and is not owed as of right.
Every Application Form on this site is a genuine application. We provide it to you strictly for informational purposes, meaning it is there for you to read, consult and learn from, not to be copied.
That means using it to understand how a strong candidate structured their answer, how they argued their motivation, how they demonstrated commercial awareness, and how they connected their own experience back to that firm's practice, and then writing your own answer in your own words, informed by what you've learned rather than built from copying it.
Everything we provide is strictly for your own personal use in preparing your own application. It is not to be distributed, redistributed, resold, passed off as your own commercial product, shared with anyone else in whole or in part, or used to build a competing product or service, under any circumstances. Submitting any part of a purchased application as your own is not what this service is for, and firms are generally well equipped to detect it.
Drafts and personal details you share with us are used only to prepare your materials, and are treated confidentially. We do not sell, share or otherwise disclose your personal information to the firms you're applying to, or to any other third party, other than where we're legally required to. That said, no method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, and while we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we can't guarantee absolute security. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss, damage or unauthorised access arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including unauthorised third-party access, interception, or misuse of data in transit or storage.
Materials on this site are for your own personal use only. They are not to be distributed, redistributed, resold, shared, or passed off as your own commercial product or service, in whole or in part, under any circumstances. Everything on this site is provided as a study and preparation aid, and we can't guarantee any particular outcome from a firm's application process.
