I think we seem to agree FANS but you've misinterpreted me a little. When I said:
'I think I do have the aptitude for this route (as does everyone else!)'
I meant that every other candidate will think that she/he has the required aptitude. Not that everyone thinks I have. I have indeed applied for a GAPAN test. Also I have already stated that I am willing to wait to improve my experience and get on the Wings course.
I won't go on a tagged scheme as I won't get in. I didn't study science in school and had a poor attitude towards study when I was young. This doesn't mean that I don't have the aptitude, simply that I was immature and have matured since. I am thinking of going back to school for a year to prove that.
I would take the iCP route ahead of the Wings route because their isn't too much difference in the two. You need to pass an interview to get on the AQC which the majority of iCP candidates pass. The two courses are very similar hence why I'm considering the iCP route.
