Have they confirmed that you definitely won't need to attend Stage 2? Have they not moved the motivation paper to this stage of the process? You may have done FEAST and DART but I think there are other parts now in Stage 2 that aren't covered by these tests.

@Kimmikins and Dottiehottie - in received mail there was written: "we can request access to your test results from PANSA and then re-mark them against the NATS score criteria".
I suppose it means that if my results are good enough I will skip stage 2 and attend stage 3.
Of course I'm not 100% sure, but I'll find it out soon

I think I'll be booking in for the 31st as well, and getting a room in a Premier Inn nearby it's a 4 hour drive from the North-West for me! Looking through the document they gave us, feels like I'm back in my degree trying to cram everything.

@mangoPL - I went through over a year ago, and they've changed the process since then, so I don't know where they've put the Motivation Paper now (it used to be Stage 1). That others are saying they have material to revise does seem to indicate that it's now in Stage 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if they come back to you to say that you won't have to do the FEAST and DART aspects, but you may have to attend Stage 2 for the motivation paper.

@Kimmikins - I see your point. In received e-mail there is also information that "As you have completed your assessment in September/October 2013, it would not be possible to attend a NATS Stage 2 assessment centre at this time.".
But then there is "In order to progress your application further, if you complete the attached consent forms, we can request access to your test results from PANSA and then re-mark them against the NATS score criteria.".
I am not sure what does it mean, but I suppose if they request access to my test results - it's possible for me to go ahead. But we'll simply see what's going to happen about that

@mango . That is 100% correct. FEAST and DART results are saved only on EUROCONTROL servers and in order for NATS to access them, you need to sign a disclosure form; but remember, success standards are specific for each ANSP. So pray that Poland has the same standards as NATS, or that your results are within NATS standards.

Yeah, I know it all
In fact, I don't really attach importance to this recruitment process, I just thought 'why not?' and apllied. I was simply surprised that the day after passing stage 1 I received e-mail with congratulations etc
Good luck to everyone who's going to take feast and dart in January.
It's really tough to pass them both, but with a cool head it could be done

Hi All,
To anyone who's recently applied online.
I'm just filling in the application form but it's not exactly the most user friendly application I've ever completed.
In the Work Experience section I'm not clear on whether they're wanting a comprehensive list of all my previous jobs or just my most relevant experience.
Will they ask for a copy of my CV later on which has my employment history on it?
Does anyone have any advice on what they did?

@AkwGon hi, congrats on securing a date, I too have booked myself in for the 7th Feb..... and a nice 6+ hour drive from Newcastle.
Hopefully it will all be worth it
Have you applied for NATS before?

Anyone going down on the 30th and staying in the premiere inn before the test on the 31st? I am travelling down from the north west a nice five hr drive!
Congrats to everyone who has got through and look forward to hopefully meeting some of you on the day.

Got my tests at the end of the month to.
Anyone know where to find info not included in the document sent to us by NATS. I've read through this about a million times and want to know where else I can find relative stuff as there is so much rubbish out there to sieve through.
