I have been following this thread with interest - I am only 15 and studying towards my GCSEs and am hopefully going to apply as soon as I am 18 to be a trainee ATCO with NATS.
I would like to ask 2 questions if I could about applying in the future - 2009 when I will be 18.
1. I would like to know whether the aptitude/selection tests will be the same or have the same tests as they do right now as in spatial, diagrammatic reasoning, numerical reasoning, checking, motivation papaer and personality questionnaire.
2. Will the College of Air Traffic Control still be next to Bournemouth Airport by 2009? I read somewhere on these forums that it would possibly move to Whiteley at the NATS technical and comms centre near to LACC, Swanwick - would this be before or after 2009?
Any answers will be most appreciated as I would like to start looking at the books recommended on here and preparing years in advance for the tests. A bit
I know!
Feel free to PM if you need.
