Has anyone rec'd a contract from NATS yet? I have to give a months notice but I am booked up to go to Cyprus for 2 weeks before going to the college which gives me very little time. And I am a little reluctant to hand in my notice without having anything on paper from NATS.
Is anyone else in the same situation?

Hi Kev,
Received no contract yet but gave 2 months notice to my employers so that NATS could get the references etc sorted out. Not sure when the contracts will be coming out but I think there is no choice but to hand in notice working on the idea of college starting on 7th July. I have read on other threads that is what people have had to do before also.
Why would you want to go to Cyprus when the weather here is so nice?!

Hows it going atcowannabe?
Yeah I know buddy, the weather in the UK is too good! Why anyone would want to go abroad is beyond me!!!
Yeah, I think I'll just have to hand in my notice then without any documentation from NATS. If everyone is else is doing that, then its good enough for me.
Thanks for the advice

contracts....
I was concerned about this before I started at the college as I wanted to give my employer as much notice as possible. I started on the 4th April and didnt get the contract til about the 24/25th February and I know of others on the course that were in a similar position.
Hopefully see you around in July!!

This is really good advice, University this ain't!

I'm on for the July course aswell, and like everyone else I just seem to be waiting on the contract before handing in my notice. I got my notice down to 2 weeks though so I'm not too worried, currently looking at accomodation for when I get down there.

Ok...who has booked accommodation for definite...and what date is everyone thinking of moving down?
There's nothing too major to organise for me, just accommodation is the biggie. I'm assuming Boscombe is best, and I don't drive yet (currently learning), so can I tempt someone with petrol money and beer tokens?

I have just e-mailed HR asking when they will be sent out. Hopefully WTB is right!!! I'll update when I get a reply from HR.
With regards to accomodation, its proving really difficult because July is tourist season and hoteliers seems to take the proverbial at this time of year!!!
Anyone else up for a tent on the beach?!!!!

Looks like tents might be our best option! haha!
I spoke to Felicity at HR yestreday and she did assure me that she personally would be sorting all our contracts and posting them out today - wooo! So guess we'll all be hanging around waiting for the post tomorrow
As for accommodation - I have no idea! totally disorganised on that front. Ideally I'd like to flat share but I suppose a couple of weeks B&B to get to know people first would be good.

Hey,
just found out im starting area in July too, have any of you guys booked any accommodation yet and are you thinking of b&bs first off?
Also, have you been put on this departure lounge thing as I've heard nothing about it, i got the accommodation list though, but done nothing with it!
