Do any of the three FTOs offer a system where you are given a time period and can book a day that most suits you? Or have any of you been given a time that clashed with personal/academic commitments, and were able to change the selection to an alternate date?
The flyingkai, Last year at CTC, the assessments were split up into 2 separate days during January. There were several dates you could choose from across a couple of weeks for each stage of the assessment. This was based on a first come first serve basis for the successful applicants, in terms of your preferred choice.
Do no take my word for it but i believe OAA had a similar process but earlier on (late December / early January)
I would imagine the schools to follow a similar format this time around, however, this is not guaranteed.
