College NATS July'08

[jopeec]

This thread it's for those people who will start their training on July'08 at Bournemouth as myself.

I'm allocated at area course.

I hope this help us to solve any previous doubt we could have.

For instance, have you already thought about your accomodation?

HR will usually sort you a forum that only your course members have access to via the Nats homepage.

If it hasn't been done, i'd expect it to be done soon.

[atcowannabe]

I'm on it too - also area.

[SACrIGGER]

I agree, aerodrome is the way forward!

[walker4]

Thanks Adrian,

I picked aerodrome as i work on the ramp at glasgow airport so seemed natural. Cant wait to start been a long wait.

Hi all,

Looks like i'll be joining the first couple of posters as i have plumbed for area. Had a email friday confirming my place.

Has anyone looked at accommodation yet? Do you know if NATS send you any suggested B&B's.

Raelly looking forward to meeting everyone!

You will get a list of recommended accomm, prob from the forum ("departure lounge") that you will get logins for in due course so don't worry too much yet.

Ooo is it me or are there a large proportion of Scottish people?

[NeoDude]

Och aye the noo.

[Ivor_Novello]

Aye, it's called unemployement

[321now]

Ahhh... July, bring it on.

Seems you'll start about a week before I finish Approach and leave for TC.

So near yet so far.

(*looks at oral board revision notes and gulps*)


Best of luck guys, you'll love it.

[AJ7]

dont be so cruel to them 321...

ull def enjoy aerodrome, area i guess is similar. and bournemouth is pretty alright too, even for all you scots who live the other side of the world

i did half wish back for seaton the other day for simple taxiways...

[Gonzo]

Don't worry, you'll soon feel that you can never have too many taxiways!

[katie84]

i think whichever discipline you go to, you will love it. For me im an area bod leaving the college in a weeks time.... note to all, be prepared for hard work! The college is great, and you will have a wonderful time, but you need to be extremely motivated and disciplined if you wish to get out of the college in one piece.

Good luck guys

Also starting Aerodrome in July. Slightly worried about finding accomodation. Haven't got that much saved for the first month.

Does anyone know about the 60pounds/week extra living costs pay on top of the 10,000/year? I heard some people talking about it here but no one seems to have confirmed it.
