Im starting on the TATC March course and wanted to ask a question about movement within the company once validated.

I have been to three pre-interview tower visits, varying in volume of traffic from Heathrow to Stansted and have also been to Swanwick. I am exited about doing this job wherever i end up, however, i must say (along with most others) that my first choice would be tower.

If i do get posted to a tower is there the possibility of movement if i wanted to (i.e to a busier airport?) or are you at the disposal of the company for the rest of your employment?

Also, if i get posted to a tower, and in say 10-15 years time i decide id like to do area, is it possible to go back and re-train in order to become an area controller and vice versa? I was told in the first interview this would be possible, but now im not too sure.

Thanks in advance
