    The courses that are of benefit are the preparation courses for the aptitude test and the interview. I did courses for both of these that Id def recommend- Pm me if you want details :) Usually the aptitude courses start running when a competition opens. If youre talking about other courses such as criminology etc I cant really help Im afraid, though I think life experience in general is what they look for in an ideal candidate and an academic course wont really give you an advantage. Hope this helps.

    Hey!
    I'm in the same boat, wondering which courses would be of the most benifit! I'm a poor student at the moment, so can't afford waste money on the bad ones!!! I'm thinking the k.c. sounds alright..there is a financial institution that organises a preparation course too (I don't know if we're allowed to name them on this?? :rolleyes:) I think they run one for the aptitute and the interview. In the meantime, I'm planning on looking in the library for anybooks that might help...

    Thanks Noel32!
    I must look into that...aptitute tests seem so far away now thats it's hard to know when to start doing these courses! I suppose its a good chance to figure out which ones are most useful though! thanks again..:D
