I'm just eager to get started!
EDIT: Apologies can't post links until I have 10 posts so no URLS!
There are also some courses you can self enroll on for free on the Eurocontrol training site (they actually seem a bit more recent/higher quality than the NATS courses tf412 linked above!)
A few books I've seen recommended earlier in the thread:
Air Traffic Control by
Graham Duke
Aircraft Recognition Guide by
Janes
Air Pilots Manual vol 2: Air Law and Meteorology by
Trevor Thom
Worth looking around at eBay and second-hand stores for those as you can get them for next to nothing.
There are also 2 ATC reference manuals that I believe we will use throughout the course. A bit dry on their own though, I think they should become more clear with the benefit of context from our lessons and teachers.
CAP 413 - Radiotelephony Manual
CAP 493 - Manual of Air Traffic Services Part 1
