paid a small amount of money
Ah yes, the actual cost of all this. Pray tell, just how much will a small amount of money actually be, in this business driven world?
To say that all the information NATS send you is enough to pass the interview is incorrect. When you get better candidates with more knowledge at the interview then these are the ones I would employ. Also means less failure rate at the college for NATS
Rubbish. What an insult to every applicant that has got through. Candidates for decades have been passing assessments. These very self motivated people have prepared themselves, got off their backsides and studied and arranged for unit visits.........themselves. And, as has been repeated several times, it's not just the knowledge required for the interview. Funny thing aptitude tests. I believe NATS policy is to allow applicants 3 attempts at the process. As much as I hate to say it, people unfortunately are still unsuccessful having sat the aptutude tests twice, thus actually knowing the format and contents. Why? The answer is simple.
As an aside, I would be very curious as to what NATS HR and upper management would have to say about the whole matter.
