Hi all, I have a dilemma. I've been accepted for an assessment centre within the next few months, and I am very keen, excited and confident about having the necessary skills to become an ATC. It is also a job which I see myself enjoying and succeeding in.
However some things have happened in the last few weeks which have made me really consider taking a year off in order to travel and complete some other personal things which I would otherwise not have the chance to do, before beginning my career as an ATC.
I am very aware though that Air services state you can only apply twice. If I had a chat to recruitment, do you think it would be possible for me to delay either my assessment centre, or alternatively my academy starting date if successful, by up to a year? Or if this wasn't likely, do you think they would mind if I withdrew from the upcoming AC without it counting as a failed attempt, so that I still have 2 chances to apply next year?
Thanks for your help!
