Hi all, I have my stage 2 soon and have received the email detailing what to bring. Those who have done stage two if you have a valid ID do you also have to bring your p45/60 and Birth Certificate or is that just for those without valid ID? Panicking slightly as can only find a copy of my birth certificate!

Your Class 3 medical certificate will be signed off there and then by the AME after the medical if you meet all the requirements. If there's something that needs further investigation then you'll need to go do that and it'll be referred to the CAA and they'll let you know.

@DarrenG42 - I have a copy - feel free to PM your email and I can forward onto you.
@Chips1 - As for medical, I never got mine there and then as I needed to confirm something, once I emailed this to the AME - I got my medical posted to me the same week by signed delivery.

Might be worth ringing up the AME to see if they have received the information. I had something similar where they had trouble receiving to follow up information to complete the medial.

Whilst you can't park on site, I parked on the road pretty much right outside. I did get there about 30 minutes early as its quite a busy business park.

Hi guys,
I've stumbled upon this thread whilst looking online and found some of the comments really helpful. I'm applying to NATS for the 2nd time after failing the stage 1 tests last year through being completely unprepared and generally just not knowing what to expect.
I'm wondering if anybody that has failed stage 1 before has went on to pass it on their second attempt? I'm also wondering how often the stage 2 assessments are held, should be successful at passing stage 1 in the next day or two.
Cheers!

Hi Calum.
I failed Part 1 a few years ago then passed at my second attempt this year. If you remember what you struggled on last year, take some time to work on those areas before you start the Stage 1 tests - I did that and it helped considerably.
As far as Stage 2 goes, there's assessment centres regularly and you'll get dates available for a few months ahead. I passed mine at the beginning of April but selected a Stage 2 date of end of August as it suited me better at the time.

Hey has anyone who passed stage 2 on 23rd Nov or later had any dates for stage 3 yet?
I passed stage 2 and had the email saying congrats etc on Nov 26th, but still as of yet had no email with dates to book stage 3. Wondering if this is a normal waiting timeframe given how prompt everything else has been so far?

Yes I had mine on Nov 27th and I had an email the day after with a link that I can book my dates on. Have you checked your spam folder as I recall someone saying to check there a few pages back. If not I would suggest you contact them.

The infographic has already been posted, but if you need the whole page, it is on WayBack Machine - the Web Archive website.
You can find the link to that page on another page on the NATS website and paste it onto the Web Archive website.
I have heard from a NATS ATCO interviewer that the selection test is going to be "streamlined" or "trimmed a little bit" next year with "some bits removed". I don't have any further details :)

Thought it was a bit strange! But wasn't sure if Christmas time was getting in the way of admin.
Emailed them anyway last night and they've promptly replied with a link - booked onto 5th Feb at CTC.

But still, a comprehensive selection process is a good thing in the long run.

I'll keep you updated - hoping I at least get a shot at stage 2!

Hi, when I go to apply on NATS one of the questions on the application is: "If you wear glasses or have had laser eye surgery please provide your CAA Class 3 results (if neither, select Not Relevant)" - the choices are: OK, Unfit or Not Relevant.
I'm a bit confused about this since from my understanding the "CAA Class 3" is the medical they give you if you make it through all the other stages. For anyone who applied with glasses/laser eye surgery how did you answer this question, did you book a separate medical before you applied?
I would really appreciate any advice.
