I do have a degree [in aero engineering] and have been on management/leadership courses with work [I am a manufacturing manager with about 30 people under me], which I hope will be in my favour. What I am worried about is how to answer questions along the lines of 'Why have you only now showing interest?' 'Why didn't you join the CCF at university?' etc.
What would constitute a 'strong year' at Sandhurst? I'd always thought that you applied for a particular position and were automatically posted to the relevant unit after basic training. Will I have to simply apply as an officer and then to the AAC?
Also, how many trainee pilots do they take on, on average, per year, and how many applicants do they get?
I know I should be asking the training officer these qns, but as I said I want a fair idea of what to expect before I go and speak to them. Feel free to PM me with your answers/advice if you don't want to post.
Cheers Again,
Phil.
