Hi all, one of you who is invited to the Stage 3 here
I was just wondering if there is anyone else who did not see even 1 date available? The moment the e-mail came and I went quickly through it I clicked on the link to see available dates and the message stated above was there. I know a lot of people apply but than again is it possible it all got booked in a matter of 40 seconds? 🤔
Also, I remember reading somewhere earlier that the date has to be booked 3 to 30 days since you receive your invitation. Anyone knows if that rule still applies?

Has anyone got any recommendations for hotels in the area to Hedge End?
Really not familiar with the area and don't want to book too far away incase bad traffic in the mornings etc.
I haven't even been told an actual address for the the day yet!

If you're in Hedge End, then stay at the Holiday Inn Express at the Ageas Bowl. Reasonably priced and if the traffic is crap, which it usually is, then you can actually walk it in about 10-15 minutes. If you're in Whiteley, then the Solent Hotel is your best bet.

Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time posting.
I recently did Stage 1 and the pass email came through immediately. I did Stage 2 but it has been a couple of days now and I haven’t heard if I’ve passed or failed. My account still says “Application is under review”.
Is this normal? I’ve read above that a few people heard immediately after Stage 2. Should I assume this is a fail?

The response times can vary. Stage 2 seems to be a personally based assessment so I imagine there are instant pass scores and instant fail scores. If you fall into a middle ground it's possible it gets sent for human review and decision on if you proceed or not. If they are busy (which they will be based on the Stage 3 dates being snapped up), it might be a few days before they look at your file.
NATS seem to always email you even if you fail, so I wouldn't make any asssumptions on your success until you have the emails in your hand.
Best of luck buddy! Let us know how you get on,
Matt

Hi all,
I recently passed the first two stages of the new process and am waiting on the release of dates for the interview. Just a couple of questions really.
1. How often do the interview dates become available
2. When do the courses start or is there no set start time?
Thanks guys
Lewis.

Glad to have a better idea on the time frame I can expect to start in order for me to be able to save appropriately for that time

Congratulations for passing the first two stages.
If I can ask you to help me with some information, if it is possible, regarding the stage 2 tests as I did not find any info for the stage 1 from the new process.
That's all.

It seems that all dates for stage 3 are full for 2019. As far as I understood there will not be any new dates for testing this year. The question is if we who haven't got any date yet will have any chance to get into the training that starts in January or March.

Probably one of the last on the old process but having had my stage 3 on Monday I'm overjoyed to say I passed! 2 trips to Hampshire from Sydney in as many months didn't go to waste afterall
Told it'll likely be a January start date but wont know for sure until August(ish), anyone else in the same boat?
