Apply now or later?
Hi, I am currently at university in my first year of a 4 year degree. For a long while now I have wanted to be an atco. My question is, shall I apply for air traffic now when there is high recruitment rate and not complete my degree, or shall I wait until I have completed my degree and then apply? My concern is that if I wait they may not still be recuiting. I know that it is not esential to have a degree, I would be doing it as a backup plan if air traffic didn't work out.
From what I have seen on these forums, at the current rate it is about 2 years from sending off the application to beginning as a student by then I will be starting my final year. Would they defer my entry and wait for me to complete my degree?
Many thanks in advance.
