Will I be too late for NATS?
Hi,
I've finally gone and done it and submitted my application form. I've also selected a date for the first assesment. The only trouble is that it seems as though this current recruietment drive is aimed at candidates to be selected and to start training by March. As Iam deployed in the middle east with the RAF for FEB/MAR, and my part 1 selection is only in April. So will there still be ample vacancies, or will I be competeing for one of fewer places?

I'd agree with that. As ex-NATS and ex-military, I had to work a year's notice between successfully passing my NATS assessments and starting my Student ATCO's Course. Don't worry, even if you don't make this recruiting cut-off date, as they'll allocate you to the next available opportunity.
