Re the no/little experience query, some professional training organisations prefer as close to ab initio as possible.

The RAF used at one time to prefer low/no hours trainees as less time was needed to "unteach" them the bad habits imbued from other training.

I recall as a BFTS QFI that some of the worst students were actually ex-UAS cadets from that same organisations training setup for uni students. Extra effort was needed to rectify the bad techniques they'd acquired from the UAS.

As a result, there was a sigh of relief when one was asked to cut "virgin metal" on a pressured high standards course.

Tin hat on whilst I await incoming fire from the ex-UAS instructors!!!
