Well, I guess this is why integrated courses at flight academies require you to pass aptitude tests before your interview for the course. Modular students have to figure out themselves if they have the ability during training. I'm not sure what the screening process is like for NATS but I'd expect it to bring out the best of your abilities for such a tough role.
