Good evening, all,

In my last blog post, I spoke about how I'd come to the epiphany that not everyone on our OBS > S1 waiting list was waiting for training. For reasons described in that blog post, many people were on our 'waiting' list that were not actually waiting. Many of you will know that I am a man of action and I promptly sought to remedy this.

With thanks once again to the legendary @Callum Axon, we now have the capability for prospective controllers to self-enrol on the OBS > S1 waiting list. With the waiting list having moved to our core web platform, away from CTS, we can now manage our waiting list with far more granularity, providing real clarity as to how many people are actually waiting for training. Our 'becoming a controller' page will be updated shortly with information on the new process for joining the New Controller waiting list - any aspiring S1 controllers who are not already on the waiting list should read this new documentation carefully in order to ensure that they join the waiting list correctly - the division cannot be held responsible for any failures to follow this new process.

Once this new process has bedded in and we've been able to update the waiting list to remove those people who have already started (or completed!) their S1 training, I'll publicise a small update with some revised statistics. As ever, I remain available for questions, comments or suggestions.

All the best,
Adam
