Training begins in MARCH!!!

HR works in weird and wonderful ways! I knew I wanted to be an ATCO, it was just a question of whether it would be before or after uni. During my A-levels I thought I was screwing them up royally so as a contingency I thought it wouldn't do me any harm to apply to NATS in case I didn't get into uni. That was in the June. By September that same year I'd passed 1st tests, 2nd tests and my medical, and been offered a start date for the coming January. So from initial application to actually starting at the college was under 6months! What I don't understand is that there is a chronic shortage of controllers, esp at MACC & LACC and yet HR appear to be going backwards in the recruitment process!
