@ ATCOnoob1 - Very sound advice there re Stage 2! In particular the toilets part! I'd add that parking in Whiteley shopping village is limited to 6 hours, whereas the day is 7-8hrs if you pass everything. I did manage to talk myself out of a ticket by going to the Whiteley village office afterwards. Not being able to use my phone to avoid a potential parking fee added stress to the FEAST/DART though!
I've got Stage 3 on 22nd Nov. If anyone else is in the same boat, good luck to you and see you there!
As a summary of the last 20 pages of this forum:
- Plenty of sound Stage 2 advice.
- Pretty much zero info on Stage 3.
@Tawnyyy - I'm 37 and was pretty much the oldest in my Stage 2 group. Most people were around 25, at a guess. There was one 18 year old guy from Brighton there but he failed the multiple choice bit and was sent home early - nothing to do with his age. You can re-apply after a year now, anyway (see NATS Careers FB page). Getting some more "life experience" may help at the Stage 3 interview stage, for real life problem solving examples, I'd guess.
