Gday Buddy,
Firstly Congratulations on getting offered the job. Loadcontrol is one of the most interesting careers you can have as a ground handler. I have been doing loadcontrolling for the last 2 1/2 years and am currently a Training Co-ordinator. I also have a Pilots License so fly aswell. If I did not love flying so much, I would not even think about another job. I agree with all the coments previously posted. It will take time but you will get the hang off it. We currently put our "newbies" through around 2 months of buddy training. Recently we had a intake were the 2 new recruits only had limited experience and manged to get licensed with Malaysian Airlines on A330 / B777 and B747 in 5 Days. Remember in the courses they are there to teach and make sure you pass and understand what is going. Trust me they will not come there to fail you. If you have any questions dont hesitate to email me any time. Once again congratulations and all the best
Rgds
