Maybe they could try something similar to the RAF aptitude tests at cranwell, at least they were actually quite challenging and made you feel satisfied to get through.
I attending the CTC selection days 2, 3 & 4 (back in 2007) and I came out feeling like I’d just been bent over backwards by some sort of sleazy used car sales man.
I'd agree that plenty were being turned away back in those days, but lets face it the calibre was hardly high was it, it certainly wasn't the day I was down in Bournemouth i know that much.
