Air Traffic Control Questions

    Well, I'm thinking of going into air traffic control but...

    1) After completion of training in Ireland, do you have to work here as an air traffic controller for a fixed amount of time?

    2) Can you apply for any air traffic control station in Ireland which may please your location or do you have to stay with which ever one you are assigned to after you complete training.

    3) Is it possible to work abroad as an air traffic controller?

    4) Is English the universal language of air traffic control?

    5) If I wanted to work as an air traffic controller in America, would I have to do an FAA approved ATC course or could I just apply for a job with the qualification which I acquired over here.

    6) Would a career break be possible if I started work at 22 and stopped to take 2 years out at about 28 to go travelling? Would it be really hard to get back into air traffic control even if jobs were available or will the qualification do you for life?

    Thanks for any answers
