glasgowgirl,
All the best for stage 2 (and hopefully, 3).
Have you had a visit to EGPX yet?

Got the stage 2 16th December. I'm a little bit older than most and going for a complete career change from Finance to Aviation. As soon as I achieved my PPL I knew I had to work in aviation. Gonzo, I'm assuming that if I'm through to stage 2 then age isn't an issue??

Shugs,
I dropped out of uni twice and still got through! Been in NATS coming up 10 years.
First time was because i spent far too much time enjoying myself out of lectures and second time because i ran out of money.
The interviewers gave me a good grilling about it but I just told them exactly how it was. Where I had messed up and how I would do things differently now etc.
Don't worry about it. Just show them that you can learn from setbacks and get on with things.
Good luck.

If it can be of any help, I had my stage 2 on a Friday afternoon (last September) and found out I passed on the following Wednesday.

Hektor - yes.
pencil, eraser, sheet for your answers and scrap paper for whatever you want. that's for all of the tests you will do on the day.

Stage 1 results

Just thought I'd let you know I got my email today from NATS to say that I now need to do the personality questionnaire after doing Stage 1. Did my Stage 1 in Glasgow on November 10th (morning session), so timings seem to be consistent with previous test sessions/results days.

Hope others have found out today too

the email says they don;t give feedback but an ATC friend told me HR have to give feedback now, so was wondering if its worthwhile calling them for some feedback?

Were the computer test similiar to the SHL practice ones?
