Yes. You get paid for it though. Get used to slaving away on "your own time".
We send our interns material before their start date. Not uncommon. Study hard now and it'll make life much easier as an SA...and by easier I mean you can do work faster, get rewarded with more work. If you're lucky, some of it will be interesting.
This is for Full Time, and I'm not getting paid for this at all.
Welcome to the shithole that will be your life for the next few years.
You don't get paid? That's rough. I have a bunch of stuff to get done before training, but they're paying us based on how long they expect it will take to complete.
