Although I have never conducted interviews for Student ATCO positions, I have conducted hundreds of ATSA recruitment/promotion interviews for NATS. I don't claim to be 100% perfect (although I haven't had a failure to validate yet!) but I would say that i have a well honed bull$hit detector - as have (I am sure) those that do the ATCO interviews.
will provide all the necessary information to pass an atc interview
I would suggest to any ATC wannabee that they do their own research rather than relying on someone else to provide the information. I would far rather train those with a genuiine interest/aptitude for the job, rather than someone who has bought themself an interview pass (which is what you appear to be trying to sell ILS 119.5)
Senario: suppose a candidate was "coached" for interviews and alike, being plied with information he or she could regurgitate but not with a full undrestanding.
They stick out like a sore thumb Jerricho.

In hindsight, if I could have had some mock interviews to help me with my known weakness, even if I had to pay for them I would have done it in order to succeed in a very desirable career.
If it is simply interview technique.. ask anyone who works in HR or recruitment. If it is more the technical side - ask at your unit visits (by the way, anyone tries to organise visits to this unit in exchange for money - forget it!)
