Nats College Course - Basic Rundown

[FlightDeckDave]

Some good questions there JetSet, which I also would like the answers too! I'm due to start at the college in October and my preference was to go 'Aerodrome' but looks like i've been streamed into 'Area'.

There are other threads, if you do a quick search for Area vs Aerodrome on the differences, but I've read all those and would like some more info. From what I've read, area seems to be a longer course, and the exams are not multi-choice? as with aerodrome. (Any current TATCOs please feel free to correct me). I'm not sure if this then means there is a lower pass rate but I've been told that is subjective - as long as you work hard then you give yourself the best chance of making it.

Although I am keen to be streamed aerodrome, everyone seems to say whatever discipline you do, you'll enjoy it. Lets hope so
