Hi all, just a quick question - How long does the ATC recruitment process usually take? I'm currently in my second year of Uni and was just wondering if there's any point in applying if applications open up in the next few months or whether I should just wait until I'm in my final year? Thanks for the help
So, I guess there is no real answer. However, my start date is exactly 1 year after I applied if that’s any help.

Hi GandalfGaming2144 I know that most other companies (in other sectors) do have yearly graduate schemes available so would of course apply for 2021 schemes (year of graduation). But since ATC schemes are far less abundant I thought I should just apply for any schemes which arise over the next few months.

In any case, it’s best to apply for a job you have at least a little bit of passion for. No point being stuck in a job you don’t enjoy just for the money.
And who knows what the future holds for ATC, esp. over the course of 40 years?! In many ways, it’s the perfect industry for AI to take over many jobs. Satellite surveillance over the Atlantic is currently being trialled, traditional towers are being replaced with digital ones. All sorts of changes going on...

i'm not doing it for the money im just saying that if your doing a degree and your worried that ATC is risky because you may not be able to pay for bills or something like that then you don't need to be because the trainee air traffic controller if a good job to provide for yourself. plus i was on about the ATC

The testing for AI will take ages to take over as it's peoples lives that are in the hands of AI and the chance of them taking over any time soon is not possible because it would be a very risky move

So, you’re going to wait until NATS reopens applications for trainee controllers?

Option 2 - register your interest and wait for NATS to email you
Option 3 - both of the above

Unfortunately I can not help you but wish you a good luck.
May I ask you one question :
Can you please confirm that there is no maths tests.
