The information comes from me..sadly I've occasionally had cause to sign things in regards to some of said trainees after failing to be able to train them..

What Pengoin says is all true. Added to his thoughts I'll also say that your mind needs to be sharp to pick it up in the time required, and you need serious motivation. The life commitments most people have already at that age seem to dull both of those things because you really need to live and breathe it for 16 full months.

All that isn't to say age should deter anyone from applying, older trainees are certainly welcome. It was just to help you with informed decision making in your application process.
