I passed selection 6 weeks ago and was told that I would start phase 1 training at Bassingbourne within 6 to 8 weeks,my job choices are Plumbing/Heating Engineer, Avionics and Vehicle Mechanic. To date my recruiter has not heard anything regarding my start date, does it usually take this long, I need to have some idea as I want to book my driving test. If I havn't passed my test before starting training will I have any free time in Phase 2 to book more lessons.
