This year? Absolutely!
Due to the college moving and such things seem to have drawn out even more than usual. The figures I was giving were very much off the top of my head, and really represented the *earliest* I was expecting to possibly be able to start.
The point was just that anybody interested in applying shouldn't delay.
...or, rather, they should delay so I have less competition! haha
JackRalston - The online test was very straight forward and, as far as I'm aware, nobody fails it. I think it's as much about seeing if you can follow instructions and use a computer. Hah. But basically, it's just comparing sets. ie, they say XYZ11234BD or something, then there will be 5 similar looking choices and you've got to pick the one that matches. The hard part is just that you don't have much time. But no worries, when they send you the link to the online test they also let you do as many practice tests as you like before doing the 'real' one.
