Which mail application do you use? I guess it could be recognising the email as spam and blocking you from receiving it.

Add this mail address to be sure it gets through:

hr.service​srecruitmen​tatco@nats.​co.uk

Hi people,

Is there anybody out there who has recently been to the stage 2 assessment day? I have mine this Friday and I'm wanting to make sure I'm as fully prepared as possible. I've spent a lot of time practising computer tests and the sdm test in particular, but I was wondering if anyone can offer me any last minute advice?

I see there's a lot of people coming up to their stage 1 test day, good luck to all of you!

Simon

Smile Accomodation

Going on the 20th, booked at Ellerslie House Hotel for the 19th.
Its a 30 taxi tide i guess, but for now the Solent Spa is out of my price league... maybe i'll think about it for the later stages... if i get there

This is getting more and more real, it's a cool feeling

Just received an email inviting me to take a bio-data questionnaire...is that a fancy term for personality questionnaire?

Well done Kimmikins!

I too have received the e-mail for the questionnaire this afternoon. About to sit down and go through it now.

Just completed my assessment, am feeling super nervous now awaiting back an e-mail!

How do they give you the options to book the next stage? I'm worried that I've missed the boat and there will be no more spaces for stage 1's!

Is it like an automated e-mail or someone in an office actually sending it (e.g. am I waiting until tomorrow's office hours)

Also, it seemed a little strange, when I completed the test it just went straight to the NATS web page, I expected a confirmation or a final thank you screen or an e-mail or anything??

sambatc: as opposed to a lot of folks who applied in august and have already been contacted for an online test and invitation, I applied back in july and still heard nothing... When did you apply?

MicroHamrah - Its fine that you were just redirected to the homepage.If you have passed the online test, they will send you an email with a link. When you click on the link at the bottom there are various dates to click on, that is if there are any available at the time.I am checking regularly as before there were none then suddenly loads cropped up. As NATS have said they're still looking at some peoples original applications, I guess more dates will show up soon! Good luck!

Hello all, just a quick thanks for this delightfully useful resource!


I received an email Monday afternoon inviting me to book an appointment for the stage 1 testing but upon following the link there were (as has been posted earlier) no actual dates. I don't particularly wish to badger the HR team with another email on the subject so I was wondering if anyone has had anything back other than to 'wait until more are available'?

I'm working throughout the day at the moment with no email access and if the bookings only re-open during the day this could become problematic!

Congrats too LGW_08R!

Let me know how the questionnaire goes, I'm stuck at work pulling 16 hour days so won't even be attempting it until Thursday.

Just keep at it everybody. I am certain they will try to get everybody sorted within the next few weeks!

For myself, woke up to yet more good news. Another e-mail from NATS. Stage 2 here I come. Now if only there were a selection of dates available to book

I know, I know... it's just tough!

At least the process does seem to be quite speedy at the moment. Hopefully it won't have lost momentum by the time they get through to my application

Congratulations! Was bio-data questionnaire just a fancy pants title for personality questionnaire then?
