HD-Nimmer, thank you very much for the information found it very uselful.
I gather there must be a very high level of competition in trying to get into NATS sponsered scheme, however I am willing to go private and fund the training myself. As there is no job guarantee at the end of privately funded training, what are the chances of getting a job and how long will the waiting be?
I would appreciate if I could get rough estimates of lengths of time.
