Pros
Documents were sent out prior to the YA in order to guide you through your first month. Not many hours required throughout the week, which meant you were able to go and explore the country, take up new activities and make the most of your time spent there. The money was also ok, I was able to afford ok accommodation and enjoy my time there. Depending on the region you are in, my training and assessments were well organised and my mentor was very helpful.
Cons
There was a lot of confusion regarding the documents needed to live abroad, spent £90 which turned out to be unnecessary! The documents they sent out were quite useful, but I felt that once they were sent out, they didn't try to help you at any stage afterwards. Especially in terms of CAF. Very slow at responding or coming to your aid.
