This reminds me of that time I was in a Silver Band. They taught me to play an instrument, then made me join the actual band.
So rather than just training, it was a recruitment program. You were told what instrument you would play, and then how to play it, and then you had to join the band.
Training program looks nice, tho I'm not too sure how many will be attracted by wanting to improve in NS AND are interested in competitive NS.
There's a whole separate side topic which arises from training programs, but instead I'll just say best of luck to anyone who tries for it.
Swifty - Were you interested in competitive NS?
