ATC College

[five zero by ortac]

Help please.

My son wants to become an air traffic controller (bless him!).

Can anyone give me a list of colleges ?

Tried Bailbrook, but its closed. Don't know where else to try.

Thanks in advance.

You can try NATS on nats.co.uk. They have an online recruitment system. Have to go through aptitude tests/interview etc before the college. I think then min age is 18.

Have a look here for NATS which is the major employer of ATCOs in the UK but most definitely not the only one

There is also the Military route through both the RAF and the Royal Navy and then there is the self funded route which I have little knowledge of but a good number of posters on here can explain more about but i think this is where the training goes on
