I hate to be rude....but im just gonna state what many might be thinking.
Clearly you haven't really thought this through when you applied.
a. A quick search through previous threads by browsing or using the search function would have answered all of your questions.
b. The fragrant harbour wannabe's forum is dominated by kids wanting to enter the CX cadetship program...so you're definitely not alone on that one.
If you don't know anything...find out for yourself.
But..just to balance this reply.
Accomodation, food is paid for during training.
My advice for you? Is to seriously do your research before applying for such a program.
Finally with regard to the information booklet, why is everyone so desperate to get the book early? If you haven't actually gotten to the stage where you actually need it, its kind of pointless.
Furthermore, yes preparation is key...., but i think CX's intentions are for a level playing field, such that everyone gets the book when they require it. The content in the book is simple, but obtaining it early seems a bit unfair to others. Im sure some may disagree with what i just said.....but i hope you understand.
