Sando,
You haven't read much of the thread have you. If you've only just applied, assuming you get in, don't expect to be on a course anytime this year.
There are only four people on each tower course and they seem to start about every 3 months. Considering your selection will take about 4 months, then you'll have about the same amount of time before your course starts, feel free to book holidays or whatever this year.
