Sorry I stand corrected.

It does state on the advert posted by norvenmunky that the post is an officer (which it isn't) and to gain professional atc qualifications.

Just be aware that Officers and the ranks are treated quite differently in the services. If you can aim for the officer side of things you will be better off in my experience (I was in the ranks). Again since I left things might have changed and the different ranks might have got a lot cosier.

Also unless things again have changed the qualifications are not recognised in civvie street. The experience gained obviously helps a great deal if/when you may leave the service but you still have to train at the civilian college courses.

I enjoyed my time in the RAF and wouldn't have swapped it but I am far better off in civvie street.

Good luck
