Ditto. Nothing heard from the question phase. It's over two weeks now but I would think that even a negative would warrant a response come the time. I'll sit tight.
As for the training fees - I'm 29 and am selling my house (for which I've worked hard for the past nine years) and financing the course from the proceeds. I'm not a rich kid and am having to make a massive sacrifice to go for it. However, the last nine years in an unsatisfying job has really led me to believe that I'm not really losing anything except the prospect of the next thirty years in drudgery
