the above is true, however the reason the college had secured some lucrative overseas training contracts, was because NATS, had told the college that they had a surplus of controllers and would not be needing the college for a while.

We now have the situation that not only can NATS not train at the college but it can't release people from the units to go to the college as instructors, so those that took VR have been asked to come back. Quite a few have accepted.
