Air Traffic Controllers How long from testing to hire?

I'm 28 and enrolled in the 2 year program for ATC. I'm worried about my age though my instructor says I should be fine. I'll be 31 May 1st, 2012, or about 33 months. I was told to try to test for the pubic hire to get in early...but say I complete the program in spring 2012...will 10 months be long enough to her hired? I heard it takes a year on average. Is this true? And at what point do you have to be at before turning 31? Before or after training?

Any help would be great. I've been all over the FAA website already.
