Thanks for your post James. It is frustrating to have to go through the whole process but, as you said, I think it was a question of commitment. From the feedback I did receive after the interview, that was the only negative point I was given to say my application was unsuccessful. Having just came back from a year travelling Australia when I applied, I didn't make it clear to the personnel interviewer that travelling was out of my system and that a career in ATC was my priority. Anyway, you have given me hope for my second application as I didn't know if there were any applicants who failed first time and then successful at the second time of asking. I would still be interested to hear from anyone else about the Student ATC selection process.
