Same again here. Just completed my training at Alteon (course was 3weeks for our group as we were all ex CC). I believe it was the last 3 week course as well though. If you do get through you stay at the Hotel Ibis. Not the best of places and you have to share a room with someone else on the course. Again not too bad. You also get your breakfast free and £10 towards your evening meal which is enough to have a something to fill you up. Regarding the selection process before all this though as was said above not too bad really. Paperwork is processed by AA fairly quickly. In fact I registered on the website and the phoned me within a couple of days and said I had an interview up at Luton (again this is at Alteon). One day interview day which whittles people down and then down again in 2 stages of assessment and interview. Nothing really taxing believe me. Couple of group exercises and personal interviews and bobs your uncle. Any questions please email me and I'd be more than happy to impart any knowledge and experience I have from both the selection process and the training course.
