September Course?
Hi All,
Found out today that I passed the 2nd stage, and pending the medical, will be starting on the September course this year - still in a state of shock, and can't believe I am through...Someone poke me - this has to be a dream!!
Was just wondering if there is anyone else here that is also booked onto the September course? Would be nice to get to know a few people before we actually start
Regards,
Gareth

Hi Gareth
Found out myself last Monday that i too would be starting in September as well. Still got to do the medical as well, but still on cloud nine about getting this far. What interview day did you have, i haven't heard from anyone that was on mine yet. Anyway congrats,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Congrats to you also
I had the interview on 4th July in Glasgow - also no idea about the other guys that were there - there was only 4 of us though.
I'm sure we will be getting to know eachother very soon

Glasgow 4th July
Hi Gareth,
Congrats first of all, how did you find out? Email? This is Chris by the way from interview day. I've not heard yet but got positive feedback on day. Pretty sure I passed the three elements so hopefully it'll be good news. Won't get carried away just yet though!

Hey Chris!
Good to hear from you - Got an email and a phone call from them. Keep me posted on how you did - would be good to be doing the course with someone I have already met before My fingers are crossed for you! If you have MSN, you, and any other people who are starting on the september course, can add me - [email protected]

thanks very much Gonzo, and for that matter all you guys that have helped me through the selection process. But I guess this is just the start of the hard work!!
I would like to return the favour to any prospetive applicants, by offering any help that you require, please don't hesitate to pm me.

Just out of interest guys, when was it you submitted your initial application?
I'm going to be applying but need to get the timing right so I can save enough money before starting college. That's assuming I'll get through the selection process........

I applied in January 2006, but have been deployed ti the middle east for 2 months, and also left it quite a long time between me tests and interview (about 7 weeks!)
I know of a guy who applied in Febuary, and he started the college a few weeks ago. So it really depends on you, and how quickly you can go to the various stages.
One thing that I will say, is don't leave your application too late, as I'm sure that NATS can't keep up the current rate of recruitment for ever!
Good luck with you application

hey all! i will also be on the september course.
SACrIGGER i am also in the RAF. my exit time was 12 months and even though i'm on leave now (and have been from june) they wouldn't let me out early to get the june course. i guess it'll depend on the manning situation in your trade at the moment.
As for the rest of you, see you there in september!

Hi all,
Not wanting to clog up the forum with this sort of stuff but just a quick note to say I'll be on the september course too. Look forward to meeting you all, especially you sarcastic devils! (Prams,teddies etc.!!). Ha!

Speedbird,
From what I have heard on the forum, most get through on the second attempt, so don't be disheartened just think of what to improve and reapply next year. It should say on the nats site the date which you applied, so give it 12 months and go for it again. I'm sure with the knowledge that you will have gained from your first application, you will be in much better form to reapply.
Good Luck,
Ian Dickson
