Nah that’s not quite the case.
Which basic courses end up doing which rating is most likely determined months in advance based on availability/business needs further down the line, sims, instructors etc. As for who ends up on which course is most likely down to luck and what courses are coming up when they can offer you a date.
If they only have Whiteley courses running, you’re going to Whiteley. If they have Gloucester courses as well you might get offered a choice or they might just stick you on one or the other.
Ability and needs at units comes into play later down the line once you’re reaching the end of the rating course.
