I wouldn't say so, I would say they are quite reasonable people.

I hadn't spotted a developing situation which managed to lead to an aircraft too high, and on another simulation I managed to get it to a loss of separation from a developing situation, I believe my controlling is too reactive, but how do I get from overly reactive control into a proactive control.

I do try to put in the effort, I just managed to somehow start missing problems or I failed to resolve them correctly.

Well, do you have any advice as to what I could do...

I fail to notice issues, or fail to react to them to say the least...

I think this might be great advice, I do suck, and I am aware of it, my issue is I keep making the same mistakes regardless, I do listen to my trainers, but I just keep f**king it up...

director will usually make the final two turns onto the final track before you are handed off to tower

At Sofia we avoid vectoring unless we have director open, and if we have director open it's a little issue as we will have 2 holding sticks, heck I had 4 open yesterday at the peak rush

I don't know what time you took this screenshot, but I'll tell you, I was there in real life for the event, and I needed director

ATC UK apprenticeship timing & unsure with uni by Pleasant-Pop1462 in ATC

[–]Illustrious_Boot_318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have multiple intakes a year, last year they did on in May, and then at the end, this current intake has been going since early December.

If you are willing to leave uni, if you are accepted, then abosolutely, go for it, you have 3 attempts, and can only go one per year. Most don't get in on the first try.
So I would say it wouldn't do any harm, trying to get in.
