Hi,
I have recently been accepted onto the NATS training and today received a letter asking me to book a medical and also to provide references of my current employer.
I am quite happy for them to get references but since I have read many times on this site that the wait to start at the college can be months (and months), I dont really want my current employer knowing I'm going to leave until I know when this will be!!
Has anyone else had this same problem? Will NATS wait until nearer the time you start the college before they contact your employers?
Also, is there any flexibility in the start date of the college-ie my sister is getting married in Australia in September so IF I was asked to start then, would it be too hopeful to ask for a start date later in the year?
Thanks for any advice and also thanks to everyone here who helped me get through my interviews - I couldn't have done it without you guys :)
