Talking to someone the other day about Bailbrook and what other options there are now for ATC training I was led to believe the reason behind Serco closing their college was because they had their 'ticket' pulled by the CAA.
If that had been the case they wouldn't have been running courses right up until the college closed. In addition to this the current courses being run by another operator just down the road are all being done with a lot of the old Bailbrook infrastructure.
Sounds like you've been fed some nonsense by someone not in the know
