It is not unheard of for the ACU to grant a dispensation for a Mountain Course Licence if you have some experience and conditions are beyond your control.  I broke my arm, back, ribs and toes early last year and couldn't get a 2nd meeting in before the end of June.  However I was granted a MCL as I had completed a few more meetings before the CTT.  I doubt they'd do it for a newcomer though.
