Applying to Nats with DUI

Hello,

I have recently been invited to undertake the online tests for NATS after being on what I assume was a waiting list for a number of months.
Unfortunately late last year I was convicted of drink driving and am currently serving a 12 month ban for my offense.

I am aware that this can not be hidden from future employers but I have wanted to pursue a career as an Air traffic controller for a while now.

I have been thinking about this a lot and am even considering if it is even worth me applying anymore, I am afraid they will write off my application straight away considering I now have a criminal record.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this and how NATS may respond, is it even worth me trying to pursue this career path anymore?

Thanks.
