The fact remains that when they were recruiting for the FPP in one particular year they had over 90 places to offer and couldn't fill them all, they subsequently took on some Whitetails from CTC (now L-3) to make up the numbers. That was with a loan guarantee on offer enabling candidates to apply regardless of personal or family wealth.
I do wonder how many places they have on offer for this particular scheme and whether they will fill all of them if they keep standards where they used to be.
