ATCO Options
I'm a new visitor to this section of the site and yes I'm on the scrounge for information from you knowledgeable people!!!
Basically I've been looking into the idea of air traffic control for a few years now while at university...I've had all the info from NATS but get the impression that all new recruits are pushed towards Swanwick. My interest in becoming an ATCO is to be able to work at an airport, either the approach or Aerodrome Control.
Basically I'm wondering if anyone has any information about being able to do this with NATS or to widen my options... how do I go about getting an ATC position at a non NATS airport? Is their a self funding route? Do you then need experience before applying?
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thanks & Regards
