My suspicions were confirmed today. I didn't pass those second tests. However, in the email it said I could reapply in 12 months time. There was no mention of the two year wait, so I'll try again in a years time if applications have been reopened.

Dude,
I feel for you, that e-mail must have been like a dagger, best of luck with your other endeavours. I know that's small words but true.
Has anyone heard if Birmingham results have been sent out, I haven't heard anything myself.
Regards,
Homes

Genuinely gutted for you mate
It's not the end of the world though. I know that goes no way to making you feel better, but it's true. Gotta put life's knock backs into perspective. Well, that's what I always do - best bit of advice I ever received.
And yeah, best of luck for your future - onwards & upwards!

Nothing yet. Hopefully soon, though!

I didn't make it either. To say I'm gutted is a major understatement.
Everyone I'm still in touch with from Birmingham on the 22nd hasn't made it either.
Best of luck to everyone.

There are no shortcuts in ATCO training, you have to put in the effort yourself, there's no teacher kicking you up the arse to make sure you do your homework

Probably by train, National Rail Enquiries - Official source for UK train times and timetables.
If you're going to CTC at Whiteley, Swanwick is the nearest station. PLaces to stay depend on how rich you're feeling, there's a Holiday Inn in Fareham or the Solent Hotel in Whiteley which is a bit more, but closer.
There's plenty of other places to stay, have a look back through this thread and there's some recommendations

just wondered if anyone knows how are the roads looking during the morning rush hours around CTC especially M27 slip road? I'm looking to be coming down from M3 on to M27 around 7am on tuesday which gives me plenty of time in case something does come up on the way! really worried though I don't want to get caught up in the traffic

Hi guys/girls I am really interested in being a ATC and have been looking at NATS website for sometime now but would like some advise on what I need to Revise/learn for all the stages 1,2,3. Cheers.

Toomek,
I was the same before my stage 1 and ended up arriving 2 hours early but there is a coffee shop at CTC. It is nice enough but those 2 hours took a long time to pass and did nothing for the nerves, especially when I saw about 25 people who had failed the ATC test on the sitting before me.
Good luck.
