What class date you will get is completely up the Training department. If they call you with a class date, and you want something earlier, tell them nicely that you are available for an earlier one. Be ready because they might call you a week before the class date, though not likely.
This is the first of this "good" news that I have heard in the past few months. On the-pipe there is a lot of doom and gloom about training dates being in late summer (Sept.-Oct.) if at all this year. There has also been talk of guys that were in the pool having to re-interview to stay in the pool. Have you heard differently about this (I hope so becuase this waiting game is a hard one to keep playing)?
