Thanks a lot for all those who helped out here. I will certainly be giving our friends in Baldonnel a call. I am really just trying to suss out all ways of being an Air Traffic Controller as it is definitely what I want to do when I leave school. I'm going on a week of work experience in Shannon at Easter, thats what I'm aiming for but with such a low percentage of jobs for such a high amount of applicants I am trying to have a plan b, and c! There's always other careers in the aviation industry I''m interested in but its ATC that I really want to do.
Thanks again guys,
