No, you get put on a course based on their needs at the time (or in x months/years ahead based on training timescales) - unless you have a choice of CTC/Jerez or Global. Global will be Aerodrome/Approach, CTC/Jerez could be either but more likely Area based on recent courses and what we've been told on needs.
