<Sniped> So, here is the
foundation of my  thinking on Apparation class.

It's true you can't get your licenses to  Apparate until you are 17, 
<snip>Students are not allowed to use magic  outside of school because they are 
underage, yet in school, under the  supervision of qualified teachers, they are 
allowed to do all kinds of magic.  Why would Apparation magic be any different?

<snip>
So,  everyone who is 16 at the time the lessons are given will be able to 
learn  Apparation.
That IS my story, and I AM sticking to it.  ;)

I do agree that students should receive actual training for 
Apparation. However, I'm afraid that it would be impossible 
to do this in a class or on the grounds of Hogwarts, simply
because you *CANT* apparate in the castle or on the grounds.
I could see a class being held at the MoM, or in a place ran by them
since you have to get a license to do so from them.  
 
Of course, there could always be a Theory of Apparation
class at Hogwarts, but that would be a very Umbridge-like
class, and I IMO it doesn't seem like the students like classes
that they aren't allowed to do magic in.  I also do agree that
the students *should* have time to learn Apparation before the test
(kind of like a learner's permit for driving), I'm just not sure of 
where/how this could be done.  And also, Harry will be turning
16 in July, that means that both Hermione and Ron are already
16.  I'm sure if there were any type of Apparation class open to 
16 year olds, that at least Hermione would be enrolled.  We've
heard nothing on that, subject, so I'm of the thinking that there
is now Apparation learner's permit, though I could be wrong.
