If you're in a car and headed for CTC, I can recommend the Express by Holiday Inn at M27 J7. It's about £55 a night if booked through Lastminute. stayed there last night. It's right by the Rose Bowl and the Hedge End retail park, so plenty of places to eat.
Anyway, just back from CTC myself. Hi to the 2 guy and 4 lovely lasses that were there with me. Keep me posted as to what happens. Hope you all got home alright!

It'd appear that I hadn't hit Submit on the booking page, and when I went back to pick the 26th, it's fully booked! I'm now DEFINATELY bookde in for the 27th - best of luck to you all!
If a nice member of HR is reading this, I'd prefer the 26th!

Rok - You'll be better off getting the train if you're coming from London - 2 stops from London Bridge station and the CAA building is about a 5min walk from Gatwick station.
I work around the corner from there currently

Thanks for the tip
just booked my train ticket. Wanted to go by bus, just because it's cheaper. But the time I will save and being able to travel anytime of the day is well worth the extra 5 pounds (or there about)

Hi all. I applied to Nats 2 weeks ago, gotinvited to take the online test. Then got an email a week later saying I had passed but due to changes no stage 1's were being given until April 2011. Fine with me, lots of study time. However, yesterday I received an email with the study material on to download/print off, and and invitation to attend stage 1 tomorrow!! So basically 1 nights notice. Is this normal, or do you think they have just had a slot come free and randomly trying to feel it? I'm feeling a little confused. 
PS. I declined the invite btw due to work commitments and no studying!

Hi folks
Does anyone know if there is an age limit for applicants?
I presume they can't officially set one, but whats the oldest
sort of age group people have seen getting on to the course?
Thanks

Andy,
There is no official age limit as far as I'm aware. I was 32 when I started at the college. (There was an age limit of 36 when I started but I believe it's been scrapped now).

I think there used to be an age limit of 35; this, I believe, was scrapped when a chappy who failed to be invited to selection took NATS to court over age discrimination and won.

Did you just do it or have you just recived results? Because if you've just did it I've heard that most people feel like it's gone terrible, so if you just did it don't lose hope yet!
If you recived the sad mail then I'm sorry it didn't work out for you

Anyone taking the Stage 2 tests tomorrow (14th Dec)?
How did the guys who have just completed Stage 2 find it? You all seem to think you've failed!
Got any tips/advice? What section was the hardest? :o

If you felt one section was a mess then I can udnerstand you're not very happy, but as I said most people seem to feel that it went horrible so if we both cross our fingers maybe you will make it through. Let's try and keep some hope up I will have my fingers crossed for you!
