Hello David,
At the moment there are 4 groups in SA. 3 KQ-8 at 43 who are almost clearing, less that a month if the weather and all the technicalities go as planned. Another group at Progress are in their last stages of the training with some of them already done. This two groups are the ones that started in May 2012
The other two groups are the KQ-9 at 43 currently sitting in for their ATPL ground school, you could assume they are 1/3 way through their training. Then there is us, KQ-1 at AIFA. We are halfway through, much as the weather hasn't been on our side!
Hope that answers your question.
