I for one will be more than happy to train Irish, Swedish or ex mil controllers that have done a shortened course at the college.
We at LACC must accept that we are not a breed apart from "normal controllers" and that although the traffic levels may be higher than these people are used to, they stand a far better chance of adapting to this than ab-initio trainees. PROVIDED that they are given equal standards of training and not just left to sink or swim as they "should be able to do the job".
I personally feel that it is a sad indictment of the training regime at LACC that we lose so many people that are posted in from other units. I say this as an OJTI and examiner.
