I am pretty sure that the last apr course to leave the college about a month ago all went to TC to work heathrow approach. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I have to say that the acs side of things is much more varied and interesting. But I do agree that the visit provided to swanwick is dire beyond belief. I felt like running away when I went on mine. The guy giving the tour was at best bland.We were shown air conditioning units, water pipes (great!) and the only view we got of the ops room was through a window looking down. It was not exactly a good seller of area control.
