Hey everyone. So finally I have been given a start date! I thought I'd share my timeline for those applying! But first a quick question:
How long does the security clearance take? I'm referring to the one that is conducted by UKSV NSVS? After submitting the form, do they engage in follow-up questions? Does this extend the process?
So here's my timeline!!
Day 1: Apply to NATS as an ATC, Pass Stage 0, Invitation to Stage 1
Day 4: Pass Stage 1
Day 6: Invitation to Stage 2, Booked onto Stage 2
Day 22: Stage 2 Assessment (in CTC)
Day 27: Confirmation of passing Stage 2 Assessment
Day 28: Invitation to Stage 3 Assessment
Day 33: Booked onto Stage 3 Assessment
Day 39: Stage 3 Assessment
Day 74: Confirmation of passing Stage 3 Assessment
Day 79: Offered Medical Appointment
Day 172: Initiation of Security Vetting
Day 194: Confirmation of Start Date
Day 256: Medical Appointment
Day 297: Start Date!!!
Phew! So overall, took 9 months, 3 weeks, 2 days!!!
Good luck everyone! Oh, and if anyone could answer my question, that would be fantastic!
