I passed too. Well done. Booked stage 3 for 26th May at Swanwick. Sorry cant help with visit to anywhere up North !!! Im off to Swanwick for a visit soon.
Stage 3 is a group test first, then you will have an interview with 2 people from NATS who will ask a series of about 60 questions on the various criteria detailed in the link given in the email. You need to show situations/events in your work or social life to quantify that you meet these criteria. ATC motivation will be about what have you done to prepare for today e.g a visit to NATS establishment should suffice. Although they will ask questions on this e.g what did you see ?? What was his job role called e.g Planner etc...
Good luck with it !!!!
