Hi! I passed my stage 1 last week and I've booked my Stage 2 for the 20th of April. I would really appreciate all kinds of advice, such as where to stay, how to get there from the nearest central points (southampton central station), if anyone has booked for the same day, or some kind of tips and hints for the exam itself.
Can you send me a PM?

Hi guys,
I've got my stage 2 tests on the 29th April and I'm staying at a little Bed and Breakfast the night before.
Anyone here booked on that date and would fancy a meet up on the 28th just let me know, we can grab a drink or some food etc...

Thanks @norse12. Unfortunately I didn't pass Stage 2... (keep reading below though)

Question to all though- how many people did everyone have at their assessment days? I'm in an odd situation as nobody on my assessment day passed and so I stopped thinking about NATS altogether but I received an email a few days ago saying that their scoring has changed meaning I've passed and so have offered me another assessment day (18 or 19th April) and interview (25th April if assessment is passed). This is really odd and unexpected and so was wondering whether anyone else had heard of this happening?

Hi guys, quick question. So I've only sent my job application a week or two ago and was just wondering how long I will have to wait to hear anything back. Would I be emailed? Is it sent through the post? Will it be in a few months time?
If I don't even make it to the online test stage will I be told, or will the lack of a reply be all? Any help and info would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

@vc21 there was a guy at my stage three last month who went through the same experience as you. I think he had to go back and just complete the DART test again, but not sure the exact details. Whatever he did he passed, so don't give up hope Good luck for the 18th/19th

Stage 2 assessment
Would just like to say big thanks to everyone on this forum, as it has been a massive help. Just passed my initial online assessments and now I am waiting for an available date for the stage 2 assessments.
Got the dreaded email stating "We are not currently holding any assessment dates". If anyone knows when NATS are next holding stage 2's, please let me know. Until then, thanks again.

Nats will contact you when they have assesment days open, it's a bit of a waiting game. Think I had to wait 3 months before they got in touch with me to do Stage 2.

I took my stage two tests back on the 18th of Jan and didn't pass the FEAST test.
Just had an email from the recruitment team saying they have adjusted the scoring method for the stage 2 tests to align them with elsewhere in Europe and have been offered the stage two DART test!
Just wondering if anyone else had this email?

There were 10 of us on the day and only 2 got asked to stay back for the afternoon.

@brentmeistergeneral thanks! They just offered me a place to do my DART tests on the 18th since i already did the feast last time. Fingers crossed!Though just unexpected as I already had my mind set on a different career route!

I waited about eight weeks in my reply for stage 1, the rest afterwards I usually heard within a few days. I've heard of people waiting months for the response to the applications though... who knows?

I wonder if they will send more emails out inviting people back to take the DART test later this week or another time. I took the FEAST in winter last year and put NATS on the back burner while I wait for the 24 month waiting period to lapse but I`m back on edge now after seeing this.
Good luck to all.
Edit: NATS have apparently already contacted all those who are eligible.

@VC21. Thanks, I hope so.
Guess they have not filled out their training courses. Or because of the backlog before are short of trainees.
Either way good news for us near misses.
