Hey niknak,
Thx for your reply....
I am actualy in progress with nats, even more, I've just arrived in Fareham to do my stage 2 tomorrow. For some reason they say the Feast-test should not be taken a second time and result can be transferred between ansp's, but in practice that never seems to happen and you always have to take it again
hehe
The thing with nats is
1. I've heard rumours that they are not to fond of people with prior training experience (but as said in a previous message that is something I can understand as well)
2. As I seem to hear there is a long waiting period before you can start (approx 1yr) after you have been selected
3. They've just been sending mails around stating they will reduce the intake of trainees because they will start fewer courses. I guess the waiting list might get even longer
4. Untill yesterday I was as well in selection with the iaa, I passed my interview etc. but apparently they seem to have problems converting my secondary diploma to the requested qualification they have. They say they need my detailed result of my exams. I have tried contacting every possible organisation in Belgium that might be able to recover these results for me, they all said it was not possible. In Belgium this is not a common thing that you need your detailed results and they don't store it... You can only request your diploma stating the kind of secondary education you took, but ofcourse I still had my original for this. Because of this they took me out of the competition, eventhough it turns out I passed my interview
Now my troubling question for this point nr 4 after this long explanation
is, will nats as well be requesting these detailed results or is your diploma fine?
Sorry for the lenghty message....
But to sum it up.... Yes, would love to get my chance with nats but, keeping the points above in mind, I hope now I'm not waisting my time and money on it and ofcourse I would prefer to be working again as soon as possible
