Hi everyone!!
I got an email from the recruitment team that I "have been selected to attend an Assessment Centre for the position of Early Careers-Engineering Technician Scheme", not sure what stage it is, but I´ve booked for the 25th April. Most of you are future ATCOs, is someone in the Engineering process?
Anyway, I was wondering if somebody is there on the 24th and wants to grab a drink and shake off the nerves.
Also what are you guys doing to get prepared?, I mean, any tips on how to get ready for it or what are the key topics for the interview or the test, I´m kind of lost on what to expect.

I'm in for Stage 2 on the 28th having last applied 6 years ago and making the second stage back then.
I was of the understanding that it was just FEAST and DART tests at this stage now however received an mail this morning stating they've introduced a new stage which requires reading and learning some ATC/NATS info that is to be tested before the FEAST commences. A bit of a surprise at this late stage but fortunately I still have my ATC book and notes from the last time when this was a required part and I have already been looking over these.
Any one sat the assessment day recently and sat this test? Going back through the forum and no one mentions it so perhaps it's only just been re-introduced

Hi folks, I've been offered a conditional place on the course starting on the 6th of June - pending my medical which I have booked for Thursday.
Just wondering if anyone else on here will be on the course and might be looking for a flatmate? Obviously I'd rather stay with someone on the course than find somewhere myself, and if Thursday goes well it'll be time to start looking!

There have been a number of over 30s and their success rates are consistent with the other age groups.

That's fantastic to hear, some of post from the guys here claim, that the recruitment process takes anything from 6 to 18 months. Is that correct?

They have increased the numbers being taken because of a shortage at the units. That means the stage 2 and 3 days are more frequent and the wait for a course after passing stage 3 is less.
