One of the training school's current students has offered insight into the course and some sage words of advice ahead of Elisabeth's enrollment.

She also warned that the initiation period is not for everyone and that a number of students drop out each year.
However, Ms Gravez added that the camp is not like the cliches of military school often seen in Hollywood movies.
She added: 'They don't yell at you when you make mistakes. Of course, sometimes they have to be strict.
Because mistakes, they have to be sorted out as quickly as possible. But if you are a bit slow to learn, they are there to encourage you, not to bark at you.'
Current student said it was key Elisabeth makes as many friends as possible (Pictured with her brother Prince Gabriel during the Belgian National Day in 2018)
Although there will be tough days ahead, the student believes that the princess will get used to it and that it might even help her lead the country in the future.
She added: 'I think Elisabeth will certainly get used to it.
Even if she only stays one year.
'We learn to make decisions under stress, leadership techniques. That will be useful for her as head of state.'

Raty said that the IS video of the massacre was a central piece of evidence in the investigation.
'The nature of the crime is visible in the video...
They (the suspects) were not hooded,' he said.
Raty told Finnish public broadcaster YLE earlier that 'the victims were lying on the ground and they were shot one by one.'

He would not comment on why the Iraqi brothers had come to Finland in September, but Finnish media reported they had been staying at a reception centre for asylum seekers in the southwestern town of Forssa where they were arrested on Tuesday.
Other asylum seekers at the centre told tabloid Ilta-Sanomat they had sensed something 'odd' about the twins' behaviour.
'I saw them sit alone and they would not talk to anyone.
I knew they were hiding something,' a 38-year-old asylum seeker and lawyer who gave his name as Omar Mohamedi told the paper.
Another man claimed the twins, who are Sunni, viewed Shiite Muslims with disdain.
The horrific massacre was carried out at 9:30am on 12 June 2014 and was released as a vile propaganda video
Finland's Interior Minister Petteri Orpo reiterated an earlier estimate by the country's Security Police that around 300 people in the country are known to have connections to 'terrorist' groups abroad.
The NBI said the arrests were the result of close cooperation between the Security Police and local police forces who have been conducting asylum interviews with newly-arrived refugees.
'The crucial intelligence has come from within the country but we do seek to cooperate with foreign authorities on this case,' Raty said, refusing to confirm whether police had been tipped off by an asylum seeker.
The prosecutor has until April 8 to press charges against the twins.
