Thanks tf412 and Trevor Hannant !
I'll likely be harrassing you some more Trevor now that I've been placed on Jerez too. 😁

Once you've booked in a date for stage 3 how easy is it to change to another if a more ideal date comes up? Is it just case of swapping over on the system like it was for stage 2? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking since I applied and now I've got a date for my stage 3 assessment I thought I'd join in! For those who have their course dates - I know that they place you for training where they need/think they will need people but do you get a chance to give a preference? Just out of curiosity since I do have a preference but it's not like I'd turn anything they offered me down! If I get selected of course (fingers crossed!)

Reading through the recent posts it appears I was in the same group as you (The bald guy crazy enough to travel from Sydney), so congratulations!
I have personally received the stage 3 email already so I'd definitely get onto the recruitment email and let them know, having spoken to them over the last two days they are very quick to reply and help out.
All the best for the future and perhaps we'll cross paths again sometime.

I share your question about Jerez accommodation - my partner lives with me and would have to cohabit with parents again if he can't accompany me to Spain! Still 3 months doesn't seem that long though...

boxface from what I've been told, Jerez is a 6 month placement and that is what others previously have detailed. Gloucester and CTC appear to be the shorter basic courses.
MEDICAL query - does anyone know or gone through the medical with a history of medical issues? I admit my health history is pretty much non-existent but in the interests of disclosure I detailed that I had been diagnosed to suffer migraines when I was a kid, some 20 years ago. I've looked everywhere to find further info on this issue in relation to Class 3 ATCO medical clearance and there doesn't appear to be specific reference to it being an issue. However I have received my medical date from NATS who inform me I may require a specialist neurological report relating to this historical issue?
Has anyone else come across this with highlighting previous medical issues or incidents?

The doctor at Swanwick seemed happy with what I've provided but he said that he'll speak with the CAA and they'll decide if it's enough to give me the medical certificate.
The day after my medical I received an email saying that I'll have to see a neurologist at Gatwick (waiting for the date of the appointment now).
I suggest you take whatever paperwork you've got regarding the migraines with you. It could be enough or you could be referred to a neurologist for a further review.
Hope it helps.

Hi, long-time lurker here. I've just got my placement - going to Gloucester in July!
I saw a couple of others have posted that they're on the same course, is there a whatsapp group I can join?
Btw, did you guys get a confirmation email about your placement? I got a phone call but was wondering if there'd be an email with more details coming out?

Got the call today at work to let me know that I'm off to GTC in July! Very glad to have gotten through all the interviews unscathed.
Is there a Whatsapp group floating around for the July course that I could possibly join?

Yes, you'll get an email - then several more emails with pre-learning to do, forms to complete and send back etc.

Passed my stage 2 assessment today. We started with 6 (10 no shows!) and were down to 3 by the time we got to DART.
The assessor said the last of the current process stage 2 assessments will be this week and the final stage 3 dates are throughout May. Everything else is on the new system which goes live April 1st but she recommended waiting a week or two for the teething problems to be worked through before applying.
