Hi,
Have been invited by NATS for the interview/group/computer tests after passing the initial selection.
Thing is, they havnt got any interview dates. For the whole of the UK.
What happens now? They say that you have to have this interview within 3 weeks of receiving the email...

Hi,
I have the same problem and I'm checking my account everyday to see if any slots are appearing. I did email NATS about this and they said they were aware of the problem and not to worry about the three week rule - just to check my account regularly and book when I can. I hope this helps.
By the way, are you planning to visit an ATC centre before your interview?
Take care,
Amira :)

Hi i was at the bournemouth date too, March 20th? after the first one had been postponed?
I have been invited to the 2nd stage too and am hoping it will be in bournemouth as thats where i live, and not up in Birmingham or something?!
i am going to try and visit Swanwick- i think it will help in the next stage
Hope to see you both at the second stage- you wont miss me- i'll be the really nervous guy worrying if ive learnt enough of that big 54 page document!!
Good luck - Daz

Well spotted Daz, thanks very much for letting us now!
Just booked the interview, what a daunting experience! I have a number of questions though:
1. I have booked a 12:45 slot for the interview, but the e-mail states I should turn up at 8:30... is there any reason for this, or is this just a mistake?
2. A link to the "NATS Security Questionnaire" has just appeared on the application page, do we need to print this off and fill in to bring with us on the day, or will be filling in the form on the day?
If anyone can help me with those two queries, I would greatly appreciate it! May I wish everyone applying good luck in the forthcoming interviews!! Enjoy!

You need to arrive at 8.45 as you will be having a whole day of assessments with your interview at 12.45. There is lots of information about the day in the various threads on here. Search and ye shall find.

Hey, I emailed the message centre last week about the confusion over times, because I too have booked for 12.45. The reply said, as SilentHandover did, to arrive at 8.30 as there are other tasks and activities that make up the day.
As for the security questionnaire I will probably complete mine and take it with me (to be on the safe side)
Good luck to all those applying

No need to print off security questionnaire as they will give you one on the day and a medical questionnaire.
Cheers

The day starts at 0830hrs. You need to arrive at whatever time you feel will mean you are ready to start at 0830hrs :ok:

Hey, has anyone else had problems with the Hampshire test dates in April? I had mine booked for 26th april at 12.45, received a phone call from HR and due to a computer error, all April dates have been overbooked, I now have to wait until June!! Bit annoying as, if I did get through, it means I miss June's course and so have to wait until October.
No-one's fault I know but still a little frustrating. Anyone else in the same boat?

I am not in the same boat as such but I know that the process can take a while. It took me 10months from initial application to stage2 interview.

Yeah, mine were on the 31st, and according to 15 working days, my results are due on the 24th April, no point worrying about it till then.

Heyyyyyy
i passedddddd YAYYY
i just saw the email in the mail box and didnt want to check it, eventually i did check it and was glad to learn that i passed stage 1. woo hoo
now i have been told to book a stage 2 day within 3 weeks, but none of the dates availble are within 3 weeks, atleast not the onez near london. Do i really have to book within 3 weeks? or can i book the onez which are in around 5 weeks time ?
