I really want to apply for this asap, but realistically I would be best off staying in my current job for another year or so to pay off debts and save some money. Do we know if there will be multiple intakes, with applications open for a long time?
On the youtube comments there are questions from 16/17 year olds complaining that they are not old enough, and responses (possibly from people on the inside?) telling them not to worry because they are looking to recruit over the next 4 years. If they want 400 people from this scheme, the 3 schools involved don't have capacity to train them all in one go right? 4 year groups of 100 people perhaps?
All this suggests anyone who wants to hold off on their application can do so, yes? Or do we think there might be a "deferred entry" sort of system, where people should apply immediately but can state a preference to start training later rather than sooner? Any thoughts on any of this?
