Katie,
You reveal my cleverly concealed identity!!
Sorry, you are right. It was definately worded incorrectly. I meant 7 who have gone straight through without any kind of hold or recourse.
So the real number of people from 211 who haven't actually failed a course is 13.
Congratulations on passing

Don't forget, just because NATS management say you won't validate anywhere and chop you, doesn't mean you can't do the job. I know it's no small amount but take a 10k loan out (that is if you want to do aerodrome) go through college then find a unit. Okay it's a big risk but if you want the job and are prepared to put in the work and sacrifice for it it is well worth it.
It's a good way to go and I can't believe more people don't do it but are readily willing to pay out 70k+ to get an ATPL, which seems far less fun!!
Unless you actually are gash and keep crashing everything together. Then I'd probably give up.

As resay says, just because NATS management say your not good enough its not necessarily true.
On a more sceptical note about the college, a lot of decisions seem to be about cost rather than ability(not all though).
There are many ex NATS cadets, myself included who were told to leave because they would never be an ATCO and are now valid at regional units. Most of the ex NATS guys at my unit which is NATS now are WM and DWM, so dont be too disheartened.
I have shelled out the £15K for an ADI ticket and my advice is if you really want to do the job go for it. Once valid you will make that back easily and more.
Non NATS colleges have smaller course sizes and you get more help than at NATS college, however in defense of the NATS guys they do have up to 50 on a course, dont think its an easy route though as its not, no multi choice like in NATS.
