Not heard - sent an email yesterday morning but I got a response saying they'll reply in 10 working days, and my stage 3 is this friday, so I'm not too hopeful of getting the personality test login stuff.

Am hoping it isn't critical to taking stage 3, would hate to have prepared only to be told the date had to be put back because of it or something similar, but by the fact I haven't got a login yet I assume not, though will be emailing to ask. Glad it isn't just me! Good luck on Friday.

Any re applicants still not heard anything back from their original application from july/august? I have emailed nats as they said i would "receive information on my application in 2 weeks" and that was 6-8 weeks ago! I had a confirmation of my email and a day or two later a reply saying they'll ask recruitment what's happened/happening to my application.

Does anyone know the actual start/end times for stage 2?
My confirmation email says start 10:00, end 15:30. But then later in the email it says the event runs from 8:30 to 16:30.
What time do I need to be there?
Emailed them but got an autoreply saying they would endeavor to reply within 10 days but my stage 2 is tomorrow!

Had you just reapplied, or been involved in one of the assessments ? Still no word back for me from stage 1 on the 4th. Given other people have heard, pretty sure I fudged it.

I'm in the same boat as you dc747. I'm there Monday the 15th but because of the short notice I won't get chance to visit a unit, although I did 18 months ago for my first application.
I've been invited to take stage 3, but the dates are such short notice that I'm not hopeful of being able to visit a unit beforehand, although I visited Swanwick when I got to this stage a few years ago. Anyone think not having been to an ATC unit recently will significantly hamper me in the interview?
@hHighmore, I was at the same stage 2 as you, and haven't been sent the personality test yet either, have you heard back from them?

Still waiting for stage 1 outcome
Hello everybody, I just found this forum.
I came from Buenos Aires, Argentina all the way to the UK, and will be staying here until November.
I sat for stage 1 assessment on Monday Oct 1st and haven't heard from Nats yet.
I think I didn't pass and I'm quite sad about it because I'm not sure I will be able to come back next year (money issues), but it would be great to get an e.mail from them so as to be sure.
I came to the UK to try my luck tbh. I like this country, I like it's culture, and I think it's one of the best places to study ATC in the whole world.
I have studied ATC in Buenos Aires, but a couple of months before I finished my training, the Air Force became in charge of providing ATC service by a presidential order. We were not likely to get a job as civilian ATC, and just after that I heard about this opportunity.
The day of the exam I was so anxious and nervous at the same time... anyways... will try to enjoy the rest of my days here!
Wish you all the best of luck!! As for me, I leave it in God's hands, and will try to see how I can get the money to come back next year!

ManiaMuse: that's rubbish, course you can prepare. Personal habilities and skills are usually susceptible of improvement.

Hi,
I sat selection on 4 October and still nothing.
@malakajin:You probably right with your assumption. No answer within 2-3 working days = OUT.
@Rae_M and the_don: This is exactly how I fell too...

Patience is a virtue . Maybe this is the ultimate test . They know 85%+ read this forums . Maybe they want to play with ones mind . Maybe they want to see who calls to disturb them while they sort 7k+ applications .Maybe if you dont get an e-mail in less than 48 hours you failed . Maybe there are different people who review the tests ; some faster some slower . Maybe they wanna hold some applicants for the february course ; maybe they are still considering borderline fail applicants . Maybe the e-mail sender soft is totally random . maybe maybe maybe .... there are a lot of theories . Trust me theorycrafting leads nowhere ... All we can do is wait .

I agree with you, patience is a virtue. But I don't have this one. So I hope you're wrong since I craked yesterday and sent an email to NATS.
This morning I heard one of my favorite song on the radio on my way to work. The kind of song that make you feel good. Usually when I heard this song the day is good, so I expected to receive a good news from NATS today. But nothing from them.
But 1 hour ago I found an Iphone in the stairs !!!! I'm a good person so I tried to find out whose is this phone and brought it back to his wife.
