Then, apply to NATS, you don't get any freebies there, but you do get to enjoy a holiday on the South Coast, sorry, you get an exceptional training, I believe.

Then, when you've got your shiny NATS ATC licence you can go and work most places in the English speaking world for a great deal more money, once you've served your sentence for free training.

Slightly facetious, but only slightly!

Whatever you decide, best of luck. It's a great career and sure beats working for a living!

OTB, who has holidayed, sorry, worked in 6 countries on 3 continents for enough time to be able to retire comfortably aged 56, some time ago.
NATS don't issue ATCO Licences, that's the province of the CAA!
