Gloucester or Swanwick?
Hi guys!
Recently passed stage 3 assessment for NATS and been offered a choice between 2 course - 1 at Swanwick and 1 in Gloucester. Now I had no idea that they had a site in Gloucester so did not realise that this would be a decision to make. They were pretty vague about it on the phone so my question is, is there a real difference or is it the same experience course wise then you go off on operational anyway?
I've been told Gloucester is more Terminal Controller based whereas Swanwick is Area Controller - will going to Gloucester rule me out from ever doing area? And vice versa? Again, I thought the decision of which Controller I became was also down to them but it seems they gave me the choice? I need to let them know by tomorrow and I'm a little overwhelmed just by being told I had landed (pardon the pun) the role in the first place!
Any advice between the two would be greatly appreciated!!
