B-HVY,
Passed the 2 month mark now. I don't really know how many are in the pool, but I believe there are some waiting 5 months now, maybe longer. I'm curious of when we will hear the first people being offered course dates in 2012. It should be soon as the 3 month advance call for handing in notice to previous employer is coming up! Can't wait!
Good luck to those going through selection at the moment!
