Hi Skychick,
As an Astraeus employee I can tell you not to worry about the training course. You said you study hard so you'll be fine. I won't lie to you though - it is tough but the trainers are excellent and will help you as much as they can
.
The times of the course are generally office hours, but you have to make allowances for aircraft visits and ditching which are never at sociable times
.
Just do your best and it will be over before you know it!
Have fun and I'll see you around!
GM.
