Thumbs up

I'm told that they have adopted much the same procedures as NATS in the UK.. .The usual phsycometric and analytical skills tests, followed by interviews. I understand that the interviews will test the very basicknowledge of atc and aircraft performance, so it would be a good idea, (as NATS recommend), to arrange a visit to a local atc tower. Also, the interview will contain a section of questions to which there are no specifically right or wrong answers, they just want to judge the reaction of the candidate. . .All very involved, and the candidates often question the validity of the whole process, but having worked for an organisation who used this process for the selection of its own trainee atco's, it's a reasonably accurate measure (in our experience), of who will pass the courses and who will not.. .Good luck to your mate. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
