To be fair, I think we're really speaking about integrated training. According to OAA's info, the course minimum for integrated appears to be circa 65 weeks. Thats not including the application process, nor additional contingency time, nor holiday periods. Looks around 18 months, probably longer, from initial application to licence in hand and cv's out. If you are predicting that 2012 be the year of recruitment again then people need to be ready for interviews come autumn/winter of 2011.
