I don't have a copy of the pay scales to hand, so take the later figures with a pinch of salt, as it's all from memory....

College (min 6 months if straight through Basic/Aerodrome or Basic/Approach, 9 months if Basic/Area. More if recoursed) 10k p.a.

Training to validation at unit 17k or 18k depending on unit banding. (now here's the difficult bit....this could be less than six months at London City - I believe a recent validation there was 11 months from college start to valid - or what, two years at an area unit if the dates for SVCs don't line up well)

On validation 28k-36k (depends on banding) plus ASAP, London weighting etc.

Then is it 2 years after date of graduation, on to the ATCO scale....?

Please someone put me right if I'm mistaken. I seem to remember also something about being at a unit for three years as significant too.....
