NATS interview process

[Frenchmax]

TR24: Yes me.
I booked the 3 October at 10:00.
I received the email 1 hour ago.
I sent an email back explaining this is not very convenient since I have already booked Hotel, train and was about to do the same for the plane. Attractive fair are now gone so It will be probably more expensive now to book for the 4th.

I asked if they can propose and other schedule.
I am waiting the answer.

I also received the e-mail TR24 advising it had been changed to the 4th.

[TR24]

I've been told i can keep mine for the 3rd but do it at Whiteley, as close to the original time slot as available.

This mean's I'm going to have to arrange getting from the Novotel to Whiteley. This is the 2nd time it's been rearranged, i'm wondering if it'll happen again.

[Frenchmax]

TR 24: same for me. I think easy way to get to CTC is Taxi. It will cost about 25 GBP, so 50 GBP return. I am not sure what to do. It is so easy to get to Novotel from train station....It's a shame. But it is also the opportunity to see the CTC...

[logex]

me too I have just received the email that communicate that I'm now booked for the 4th october. fortunately I hadn't booked my flight yet. however the location is the novotel

[logex]

anyone has accepted the new slot for the 4th ?

[dmc02]

Hi, does anyone know if there are online resources to practice the tests that will make up assessment day 2?

[GAPSTER]

You'll enjoy that!

[owensamuel]

My time slot has now been changed to:

Interview Date & Time (start):Wed 03/10/2012 15:00 BST
Interview Date & Time (end):Wed 03/10/2012 17:00 BST
Additional Time Slot Information:NATS Corporate & Technical Centre (CTC) 4000 Parkway Whiteley Fareham, Hants PO15 7FL

Anyone at the same time want to share a taxi from Novotel?

[TR24]

Just had my email saying im now on the 3rd at 9am at CTC. Clicked the link and changed it to 10am, hopefully will miss a bit of the rush hour traffic.

[Not Long Now]

Train from southampton to swanwick is about £5 return, and 20 minutes. 20 minute walk from swanwick station to CTC, free. Just a thought.

[owensamuel]

Thanks not long now. Certainly cheaper than a taxi and sounds a lot easier than the buses.

[CDNATPL]

Can anyone confirm that the retirement age of 60 at NATS is no longer madatory?

[whitelighter]

That is correct. As long as you can maintain your medical you can work until you die if you want. You become eligible for your pension at 58 still.

@dcm2
There are no specific resources to practice for stage 2 and ou don't reall need any, I mostly played tetris myself, probably didn't help a bit ut was good fun

If you still want to practice there is an old thread somewhere with resources for stage 3, I don't think there's much in it though, and I still don't reall think it will help you to be honest. A good night's sleep and a proper breakfast on the other ahnd

[logex]

I have just booked my flight and hotel.. I sleep in the star hotel from 2nd oct to 5th oct.

I'm booked for 4th oct at 1 pm at the novotel no one for this date?

[skarola87]

cheers

Finally I will take my stage 1 the 4th at 10:00 at the Novotel. I will stay at the Ibis hotel, near the Novotel. I will arrive the 3rd.

This is the date and time I've chosen. I realised it was easier to change my hotel date than to arrange getting from Southampton to Whiteley. I was flying down from Manchester, but the prices have gone up so I'm probably going by train now.

"You become eligible for your pension at 58 still"

If you are referring to the ATCO grade,under the flexible retirement scheme you can take your pension at 55 in line with national legislation.
