The testing for AI will take ages to take over as it's peoples lives that are in the hands of AI and the chance of them taking over any time soon is not possible because it would be a very risky move

You’re right, I don’t think anything will change that drastically any time soon. But, 40 years is a very long time in terms of technological advances.

So, you’re going to wait until NATS reopens applications for trainee controllers?

Option 1 - check the website from time to time
Option 2 - register your interest and wait for NATS to email you
Option 3 - both of the above

Anybody else on this course? Seeing lots of replies for CTC in January or April, but I'm on the Jerez one too. Apparently there's 14 of us.

Anyone else on the same date?

Arent they meant to tell you the result (yes or no) within 5 days? That's what my email said.

Hi Clara,
Unfortunately I can not help you but wish you a good luck.
May I ask you one question :
Can you please confirm that there is no maths tests.

How are people preparing for their stage 3 group session and interview?
What are you looking into?

If you've already been for your stage 3, what's the best advice you can give?
Appreciate the help.

Smile Stage 3 Assessment

Hi, I've finally got my stage 3 booked for the 21st Jan 2020!
When I selected this date back in November I was told that the dress code for the day was to be formal/business dress, and I was wondering how many people actually planned to turn up in a suit etc. or would that be too extreme?
Also it says to get there for 8am but doesn't give too much indication as to what time the day will end, so I've been struggling to find the correct train times to book. If anyone could offer some advice on anything I've missed that would be amazing!
Good luck to everyone still in the process too

For my interview there were a couple of guys in full suits, a lot were in shirts and smart trousers, and I think one guy was in chinos and a shirt.

I did the old process, but I think I'd finished the stage 3 by lunchtime. I was in the first session of the day, which was a general interview and a technical interview.
