Trainees will be streamed into Area or Airports earlier now so you may know before you start.
If on Area you will undretake a 4 week "common core" programme which is all lessons (basic theory like met, nav etc) there is a test on Law at the end of this.
Then you move onto the Basic Radar course (11 weeks I think), this has Area specific theory and you get on the sims pretty quick (first couple of weeks). Near the begining is the multi-topic exam which is all the stuff you've learnt during "common core". A few weeks later is an Area specific written exam. Towards the end is an oral board, with practical summatives at the very end of the course. You have to successfuly complete all of that to move onto...
Area Foundation (12 weeks ish) which includes a written, oral board and summatives in that order. Then onto...
Area advanced (12 weeks ish) again written, oral board and summatives.
Good luck in July!
