Warren the funny thing is we cant see how they could have ever fit it in to the 44 weeks to begin with. At our current rate we progress through one exercise a day and with the limited resourses (instructors) there is no way to go faster. They did add "combined opps" to the end of the course recently which could account for some of it. But I recon they knew our course was going to be longer before we even signed the contract.
@ dreamer. I hope sunnySA is right. It took me over a year from the application due date to me sitting in ASA college. And there were several times where I got the email "just be patient we will contact you in a few weeks" and then waited over a month with no contact. Friends started to think I was lieing about my new job. For me it was worth the wait though, I just hope they improve the process not to discourage others.
