Right the website is

www.aa-academy.com

You need to fill in a form and do an aptitude test (piss easy) they reckon it takes like an hour and 15 minutes but its more like 15-20 minutes.

I reckon it could be really good. Just hope i get it now. Thumbs Up

Why couldn't they have done this 8 years ago?

What's the test all about? I want to do it but I don't want to apply.

The closest the test came to mechanics was...

Nah! I think it's a publicity stunt Confused
When mine had to be trailered away by the AA the guy actually said to me "You probably know more about these things than I do".

Mind you, in their defence he was only a contractor, not proper yellow (or whatever shade it is now) AA.
