NATS ATCO selection Day
I am on the selection day in january at Bournmouth. I'm studying everything possible regarding ATC, but can anyone here give me an insight into what i can expect on the day? I've looked at some sample online apptitude tests and have a couple of books with practical ATC studies.
Look forward to your comments!

NATS ATCO selection day
Hi
Yeah,its the selection day at Bournmouth. I've been given stacks of stuff to read and also been given a link to a website to view practice apptitude tests etc.
It would be great if you could tell me anything about the day that might help me!
By the way, did you get through?

I'll tell you 1 thing for sure, you dont need to spend much time learning every single aircraft detail in the file they send you! if i remember rightly its about 3 or 4 pages of pure data on different a/c
Just know the general differences in altitude and speed between jets & props
Apart from that know and learn everything else!

...apart from the fact that NATS has just changed their selection process and the first new tests run.... in January! Most are the same as the old ones aparently [so don't panic] but the package they sent you to learn is tested more rigourously.

so do i need to learn as much as i can about everything ATC related, or do i just concentrate on what they've sent me? I wanna be absolutely prepared......but at the same time, i dont wanna waste time learning things that i might never need to know!!!???

Future ATCO.
Do not stop learning everything you can about aviation in general and ATC. You might not be asked about it at the test day, but you will at interview, and you will certauinly benefit from that knowledge at the college and when you're working 'for real'.
