I estimate 3 to 6 weeks before the AFCOs get the 2010-2011 targets. ALL trades should open, albeit some will not be open for long!!

The AFCO will not be able to get anyone a place at RTS Halton until Apr 2010 but the application process for those Apr places will need to start from Oct 09 onwards. Some trades have enough people already in processing to start filling 2010 quotas....so even when the trades re-open this autumn many people will not get a date until mid/late 2010.

As Krusty crab says really, AFCOs are waiting to be informed of the likely numbers for next year and in what trades they are looking to recruit.

There are a few trades that will have their numbers filled for Apr '10 - Apr '11 by the candidates that are already in the system due to the massive recruiting drive and success through the AFCOs

Once other trades open the AFCO will contact all people who have given their details for those trades that open and will then start to get people in to the process at the relevant point. i.e some people will have already sat the AST and will be awaiting a selection interview, others still need to take the test.

Until the AFCOs know all you can do is await a call or if you are worried about being missed make contact every couple of weeks to get a trade status update
