How many attempts?

[Dylon]

Hi

I know you are all fed up of potential ATCs asking the same questions but....

Does anyone get in, at their first attempt as it seems that no-one does?

I only ask because if I fail at my first attempt, I will be too old to have another shot. Big 30 approaching :-(

Thanks

Some people like me do fluke it on their first attempt!!!!

Don't worry too much about yr age......just be positive!!!

good luck <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Dylon,. . Some do get into NATS on their first attempt, I did. However just as many get in on their second or indeed their third attempt.. . Sorry your age goes against you but for others there is always another chance so don't give up after the first knockback. It's still a worth while job to get into and it is worth the effort in the long run.. . Good luck to all those applying.

Hey - I got in 1st time and I think that if I didn't get in then , I wouldn't have tried again ........ but its well worth it as I enjoy every minute of the job - now I'm no longer marking time!!!!

Dylon,

I had the same worries as you. Fast approaching 30, my one and only chance to get in, and somehow, they let me in. So don't despair, there is hope.

Best of luck
