Erm I don't think they're different, I don't see why they would be or what the difference is.
Well I was eventually yes, it took an awful lot of communication before I got anything back but obviously I received an email in the end letting me know.
My preference is to do Aerodrome, though from 2012 (i.e. course 230 onwards) all trainees complete a basic course together THEN they are separated into Area or Aerodrome after that. Assuming we do both start 230 in April/May, we will study the same basic course before branching!
