fish NATS/EUROCONTROL RECRUITMENT

Have applied to both and been granted interviews (yippee!) but just wondered - do NATS take on Direct Entry Controllers that have been trained by, say, Eurocontrol?

All info appreciated <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Until a common European licence in place, the process has been that when you, as a valid controller from another centre/unit, apply to NATS, you are invited to attend an Assessment of Previous Competence, which normally takes place over a couple of days. This used to be at your (the candidate's) expense.

Must say, there aren't many that come to NATS from Eurocontrol, although there are a few who have been tempted to go from NATS to Eurocontrol.

Cool

So what is the Assessment like? Is it all book work or is it plug in and see if you can keep the metal apart????
