Minmum Contract Period

All

Quick Query from someone more familiar with the goings on in the Wannabees forum.

I am interested in becoming an ATCO, but am more interested in being on the other end of the radio (no offence). Is there a minimum term that an individual is contracted to work for NATS following training? - I realise that the training is thorough and rigorous and can only assume that there is a significant cost involved, therefore it may seem reasonable to assume that once trained there is some minimum commitment that is expected of you. - Is this the case?

I would not want to start down the road to becoming a controller if it precluded me from getting a flying job in a few years time.

Thanks to all in advance
