question about Global ATS
I have some questions about global ATS.
How many people who finish the course and get the license gets the job there? Do I have the apply individually? and How much is it?? |
Global ATS may have some ATC contracts in the Middle East but in the UK are only a college where you can train for your ATC License and ratings; as far as I'm aware they do not provide Air Traffic Services at any location in the UK (but I could be wrong) hence do not offer employment.

Global ATS may have some ATC contracts in the Middle East but I could be wrong cubes9 - consult Global-ATS, or any other ITO, directly - see their websites. 2 s |
Once you've pass the initial training (basic atco course + rating training) at Global you progress to OJT at a unit. As Chevvron said, Global are only a training provider. If you pass the initial training at the NATS college, you will move on to OJT at a NATS unit.

Not unheard of to pass initial training at Global and move on to OJT at a NATS unit either ;) although you do have to be sent to Global by NATS themselves

Fair point, I was just trying to avoid a diversion into talk about the problems at the NATS college 😁

Just that rather more students for NATS units are going through Global than their own college...Something about capacity being taken up by overseas students is what I'd heard.

Well, you heard wrong then.
I can speculate but it sounds like you know the real reason? |
Are NATS still sending students, sorry apprentices, to Global for Basic, ADI and APS courses?

but there are (or were) problems at ctc weren’t there? I heard that the last few courses to go through were held for significant periods in between their basic and ADI courses and again between ADU and APS. And not just a few weeks but for periods of 4 months and longer.
I can speculate but it sounds like you know the real reason? Trainees from all the ITOs that NATS contract their training to, have & may be held because they are fitted into the training slots available at unit as the opportunity arises. It may be they are held as the simulators are prioritised elsewhere, or because they are waiting for that space at unit, but that's not necessarily anything to do with "problems" at the CTC, it's a NATS business decision. Yes, it's difficult for those concerned, & uncomfortable for those who have to make those decisions, but the root cause does not lie at the initial training stage. |

Is Global still operating during this current time?
The demand for new controllers is going to take a hit for the next few years at least. |
A statement from Global ATS on their Facebook page:COVID-19 UPDATE FROM GLOBAL ATS |

As you have chosen to copy and paste the statement from Global-ATS instead of using a link, it should be clarified that the last line is your opinion, not part of Global's statement. 2 s |
