In reply to Crazy Voyager;
Do we get any reimbursment of costs? As far as i am aware, NATS only cover the cost of the actual medical. I had to pay for my own transport.
Will there be one or two medicals? One medical is all i have sat, im not aware of any others. The details should be sent to you but its all basic stuff, nothing really worth worrying about unless you have anything in your medical history.
How much could you decide for yourself what date would be suitable, was there a waiting list also for this? I phoned up and asked for the nearest available date, i had to wait about 4 weeks for this but im sure they will accommodate you if that's too short a waiting period.
Just a side note, but i'm in the same boat as you. 1 to 1.5 year waiting period before a college place opens up.
Good Luck to anyone reading this who is going through the process!
