Hi John, the process is usually 6-9 months, but I would be mindful about the intake dates as these get booked up relatively quickly

John, sometimes you will be allocated a basic training date to fall in line with your phase 2 training. As mentioned above, lots of job roles are filling up extremely fast and some with waiting lists so id advise joining sooner rather than later
