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?

I also was successful at the very start of April with the old process. Was told exactly the same information as you. I have my medical booked in July but it was a long wait so get booked in early!
And congratulations to you 😉

Congratulations to you too, great achievement!
I wont be back to the motherland until the back end of the year anyway so have plenty of time but thanks for the heads up.
Will be checking in and updating on here as things start to become clear so it'll be good to get to know some people potentially on the same course before the actual start date

Hi There,
I completed S1 of the new recruitment process last Friday 17th May and I haven't heard anything back yet regarding the results.
Does anyone know who done S1, how long do they take to let you know the outcome?
Much appreciated.

I'd keep checking every week or so and see if any open up due to drop outs/NATS opening them.

From what others have said, even if you pass stage 3, the course start dates aren't until Jan 2020 at the earliest. Then again, working a long notice is better than not knowing haha

I found out I'd passed in October '18, and I finally start in July. Yes, the wait has been mildly excruciating, but if it's right for you, then the inconvenience will hopefully be a distant memory!

Today I got an email from NATS confirming that all Stage 3 dates for 2019 were full and I will be invited for Stage 3 in 2020. They've "received an overwhelming number of applications". Doesn't sound too good for the probability to get in but it's worth a shot, right.

Got an email today stating that due to the high number of aplicants this year I won't be doing my stage 3 until 2020 now. No big deal glad to have it cleared up and gives me something to look forward too in the new year now!

but it's worth a shot, right.Remain positive though, you've achieved a lot just getting through to stage 3 and whilst you may have to wait, there will always be a position for the right candidate. Irrespective of how many people attempt stage 3, the process is set up only pick the applicants with the right attributes and if you tick all the boxes it doesn't matter how many pass or fail prior to your own interview.
Best of luck for the future!

They've two choices - go through the full process now and wait months on a start date because of instructor availability or slow the recruitment process down so you get into training sooner after Stage 3. Seems like they've gone for the latter

Please, could you explain how it the process once you have finished please? It will be very interesting to know a little of bit more about the group activity, the personal interview, etc.
Thanks and good luck!
