This would be the time to cut your losses, and bail out.
Terribly difficult decisions are sometimes necessary in marginal cases and save the trainee tens of thousand of dollars/euros etc.
The ‘no hopers’ ( although some would say: ‘never say never’ ) are clear cut and probably easier to deal with.
A decisive decision at this point would reduce the failure rate by a significant amount.
It might not however please the beancounters at the feeder school. Depends how the contract is written.
