IMHO, i have gone through the training program, and it has nothing to do with education. It is all a matter of whether u were born to do the job. From where i come from, the minimum education required is GCE 'A' levels. And my cohort had 3 graduates from various backgrounds. The graduates breezed through the initial, then secondary stages. But they all fell out of favour when it was time for OJT, On the Job Training. The 'A' level bloke then breezed through the OJT, like he was meant for it....

The graduates dropped out of the course, and left the Authority.
Your degree in Av systems shows that you have the mental capacity to take on complex thinking and processing. Its really all about multi-tasking, and whether you have your eye on the ball the entire time. The trainer will try to divert your attention, thats the fun bit. I feel it has alot to do with how your neurons are connected.

Hey give it a shot, you never know what might happen...
Remember---Its a dynamic environment--- it cant be emphasised enough.
Cheers and best of luck!
