If you are really serious you simply
must take responsibility for your own research. There are many who contribute to this forum who can give you considerable information, but unless you grab the reins firmly and apply yourself to the task, few will bother to help. Show some initiative and determination and who knows what may happen.
When I applied (because £1,500 pa was twice my City salary and the London Fire Service had turned me down) I had no such help but still made it..... so anything
is possible!
