Hello everyone this is my first post here so please bear with me.
About me:
I am 26 years old mum of 2 kids I would like to take this opportunity that our lifestyle has enabled me to embark on an career as an Air Traffic Controller. My intrest in ATC stems from me wanting a serious career and also a brighter future for my children, also my ex husband is a professional airline pilot who is encouraging me to seriously persue this path.
I am a complete novice in this field and would appreciate any starting point to embark. I have had a look at the NATS website and also ASTAC ltd.
I understand that this is a pilots network and im not sure if there are any ATC dedicated forum that I can join.
I would be looking at starting from scratch and would appreciate some info on how long the entire course may take from the beginning to getting a job.
Can someone also please shed some light on different paths available to getting the licence ie, NATS, private or military? if private, how much funding would I be looking at in getting the licence?
I have many more questions but I would appreciate some info to get started.
