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!

Which course are you joining? I'm behind you in the process I'm afraid, haven't received my initial security forms yet! But have my medical at the end of the month.
