My advice to you all is to get to know people from the other courses!!! You cannot learn in isolation and there are loads of people around the college who have experience holding at various units, and have had the opportunity to do some OJT. There are even some ex-approach controllers I believe on area courses. It's always useful to be able to pick each others brains, you never know what gems of knowledge you may pick up. Look into a visit to other sim rooms, with the permission of the course manager of course . . . . and never, ever assume you know it all!
Your time at the college will be over all to quickly, so enjoy it!
