Kalms?

works for some people during their driving tests

[cdorricott]

Yeh works for some people not me though!!! I took them last year in the morning before my structured interview at Southampton and they made me really agitated

I would get a good nights sleep and rest your brain....if you have prepared and are in the mind set and fresh you will do fine!

Can anyone let me know if your online test was on the SHL website yet???

Thanks

Cheryl

It is on hte SHL site.
I never heard anything about how well (or not) I did on the pre-S1 tests on the SHL website.

I wouldn't worry about them too much once you've done them - you can't go back and change your answers anyway - just concentrate on doing as well as you can at the S1 day.

Good Luck!

On another point...

I e-mailed a contact address I was sent by HR on monday to arrange a visit to Edinburgh Airport Tower.
I haven't heard anything back yet (wednesday).
Am I just being impatient or should I phone the number they sent me as well?
It's just that I need to get the visit sorted for next week, or this week as my S3 interview is on the 18th....

think i might avoid the tablets if thats the case, i suppose a night out in prestwick should be avoided too?

[cdorricott]

Yeh if I were you I would call the number and see if you can organise the visit yourself, HR might be really busy and not realise you need the visit sorted sharpish!

I done my online test last night and thought I done really well, but just felt it was a bit weird as it wasnt a NATS website, so I dont even know if NATS get sent your results as how would they know to pass onto NATS??

Hi Guys

Just doing some reading for my stage 1. Looking through the test materials document produced by NATs. How much of this do I need to learn, do I need to know the all the different planes passenger capacity, height ranges and max speeds??

Cheers
Jim

MOST DEFINITELY!!!

Good luck

Hey! I sat my stage 2 on the 2nd oct (I was the girl going to Australia the next day!) and I found out while I was away that I passed! Which I personally think is a miracle so anyone who thinks they have failed stage 2 don't give up hope! Anyway I emailed HR while I was away to let them know I couldnt do the SHL tests or book my stage 3 as I had limited internet access and they said that was fine. So I'm back now and am about to book my stage 3 and try and organise a tower visit. Does anyone have any advice about this? For example did you go to a particularly good place? Stansted is closest to me but Heathrow seems more appealling as its a bigger airport. Also how long did you have to wait to go on one?

I think Pat42 was at my stage 2 and Ive seen that you passed - well done! Anybody else from the 2nd oct? Do you have your stage 3 booked?

Hello everyone,

I am a student from Lithuania. I sent an application to NATS, and I was wondering how long does it take for them to invite me to participate in 1 stage of joining "Trainee Air Traffic Controler"?

[fisbangwollop]

LOUDSPEAKER.......full marks for tracking me down .. sorry at this late notice I cannot help with visit as am days off....good luck with stage 1 and should you get through you now have my email, let me know and I will try and sort out a visit for you....once again good look and take care..

[Pat42]

Hey Chippy,

Good to hear you passed. I think quite a few of us did. I just sat my stage 3 today with Emma, Dannielle and Michael. I know Mark passed as well. I'll PM you about tower visits. Good luck.

Pat

[loudspeaker]

hey no worries, thanks again, would nats take into account my tracking down skills?

[onilobijas]

And I just recieved mine to stage 1.
I am almost as thrilled as I was when I had to take these kind of tests back here in Lithuania, when I was joining to Air Traffic Control

I found out I got through to Stage 3 while in Australia too! ...Correlation??

I'm visiting the Heathrow tower on Monday night actually (can't wait!!) and going to Swanick on Sunday so it's going to be a busy weekend.

We were lucky enough to meet an ATCO at our stage 2 so she's the one who organised the Swanick visit and I emailed HR to see who I would need to speak to about getting a Heathrow tower visit so that's probably the best way to go. I called up on Monday and they booked me in for the following monday which was really speedy. Especially considering my stage 3 is on the 10th so I'm running out of time. Made it more difficult being in Australia and trying to organise the Swanick visit which I organised about 3 weeks ago now.

Really can't wait for my stage 3, I know that sounds crazy but I've been waiting a year for this opportunity and getting to go to Swanick and Heathrow within 24 hours of each other has really topped it all off.

Stage 2

Hey guys, just passed Stage 1 and been up to the heathrow tower, was amazing.

I just received the invitation to stage 2, seems a lot different to last time, is it just computer tests now? No interview, no motivation paper as last time they gave me a second lot of test materials to learn etc

Anyone just sit stage 2

Thanks
