It used to be.... until the UK government came up with a good idea that to get more nurses or to encourage them to do more work, they'd 1) put in a pay cap for the last 7-8 years, 2) withdraw the bursary from nursing, 3) put in a pay cap for agency worker rates, and 4) limit what nurses can claim tax allowance for. Yay!!
To give you an idea, agency pay went down by more than a third in about a span of 6-8 months....

Plus they have programs with Wizz Air and Smartlynx. Which means after training you will have a job with one of those airlines.

Well, my gripe with BAA is just the slow response time from their rep, but I'm told these are growing pains at the moment? But yeah, their cadet schemes are what puts them on the list for me. As for their strange ideas, well, that has nothing to do with training so I'm not worried. The "managers" for healthcare has some strange ideas as well.... see above!
