It seems as though selection is conducted pretty much on an "annual" basis commencing in December of each year for a few months.
Is that pattern likely to continue, you think ? (assuming economy etc all going along OK), and how many per year total are they taking , (thinking this number is 70 to 100 pa)
The current plan is to run the FPP until 2016. The numbers they are looking for varies from year-to-year, although it seems to be trending downwards. The suggestion is they are looking for 60+ this year, but in previous years it has been more. I suspect your 70-100 figure is about right though.
All selection done in UK (as in FTE come there , instead of people having to travel to Spain?)
Correct. The FTE selection day was in London.
