There are 2 privately funded Colleges approved by the CAA that provide ATC training in the UK- they are BAE Cwmbran in Wales and ASTAC in Gloucestershire. You can get their contact details off the CAA website.

The course fees ADIS5000 has quoted sound about right from my research- approx. 25K for and ADI or APP course inc. VAT. As Heathrow Director mentions, if you are considering the self sponsoring route it is very advisable to have made contact with the SATCO / Manager at your Regional ATC Unit to discuss your aspirations before getting your cheque book out as it could end up being a waste of rather a lot of money!!
