Concur to some degree with Bigdog about believing the recruiter,so why don't you get it straight from the horses mouth(s) and organise a visit to your local aviation base and talk to the aircrew about it all, unless you are remote area oz most capital areas have a big enough place to visit, ok, maybe not Melbourne.
As for the english, talk to the recruiting people as they're the ones that want you, and they should help out. Drop us an email if you have no joy.
We get loads of visits here and I've seen a few of them return as aircrew, so it does help.
ps- I have no degree and managed to avoid ADFA
