ATC validation

[leontidbury]

Hi,

I hope someone can offer me even just a quick answer to my question.

I have been offered an ATCO training contract with NATS beginning in July or October (they're waiting for final numbers from the college before handing out dates). I understand that the pass rate at college is around 70% but I was wondering if anyone can tell me how many trainee ATCOs then fail to achieve validation on their posting?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, even just a ball park figure or what people have witnessed themselves at their units.

Thanks,

Leon
