ATC Application Timescales

[loula5]

Having recently applied to NATS I have just received a letter back saying that my selection tests will be held Feb/ Mar 2003.

Does anyone have an idea of the timescales involved from the initial selection tests, to the interview and then a start date at the training college?

Looking back at previous conversations it looks like it could be a long process!!

Thanks!

Thanks for that!

Apply to Eurocontrol and you could be on the July course. That's July 2003.
