That’s great, is the training progressive and can you spend your time going over information you don’t understand? As I have no background knowledge

Yes, the training is very progressive and its just like being at collage or university you will learn theory and then put that knowledge into practice. You will be living with the same group of people on you course so you an l study together when things get difficult and most your staff looking after you will also be electronic technicians so they are on had to hep also.

Not really any points you should talk about just be yourself and do a bit of research into the job from what's on the Army website and you will be fine :)
