Mine was from the guy who led my assessment centre. It was the same number they gave us at the beginning of the day in case of an emergency/reason we'd drop off the call

thx for the reply. Can I ask when you had your assessment and if you were successful? Also the last 4 digits of the num that called so I can check

If it was one of the recruitment team calling from their work mobile (it would be if you were successful) then they’ll definitely pick up within working hours.

I don't really feel comfortable sharing the phone number on the forum - as Retsek said, it will be a mobile number. Give them a call back, their voicemail is a unique one stating their name etc, so you should be able to work out if that was them. I missed my initial call, got left a voicemail, called back and had to leave a voicemail as well. Just try to give them a call.

Lol yes as Retsek said, I was successful and found out 2 days after my stage 3. My stage 3 was 2 weeks ago tomorrow (2 October, found out 4 October).

ps: I was also on the Stage 3 on the 2nd of October and I also got my good news on the 4th :-)

Definitely second what you said! It might happen to miss a call, when it happened the person left a voicemail and I got an answer when I called back. So far I've found the communication to be pretty good.

I’ve also found communication to be great! Get calls from them when they need something and they’re quick to handle my emails too.

Have you already had your medical done or got it booked?

Think I will get a stage 3 then ?? I’ve not been told no just yet but also haven’t been told yes.
Thank you for your patience whilst we assessed the results of the Trainee Air Traffic Controller applications. We have had a greater volume of response than anticipated and as such it has been necessary to base progression to the next stage in order of performance at Stage 1 and 2.
We will be in contact to confirm whether we will be able to proceed your application as soon as we have undertaken the initial assessment centres.

Sadly got rejected last week (a week after doing my stage 3 assessment), and have yet to receive any feedback. I emailed them last week as well as today but it seems like they're just very busy with other applicants and whatnot.
The feedback's crucial for me since the interview portion of the assessment was only the 2nd time i've ever done a formal interview so I'd like to know if I got failed because of it or one of the other sections.
Hope you find some other employment (at least until being able to reapply next year) ^^

Does anyone know if we're alright to discuss the tests from Stage 1, since they're available to *all* applicants unlike the contents of stage 2 and 3? I'd like to ask about a particular test, cuz I found the instructions confusing hahaha

Have you tried asking them directly about that?

Hi guys, got my start date confirmed as Jan 2025 a couple of weeks ago! I was told I could expect to be contacted by the training team at some point with further information about the course - does anyone know about around when I can expect to hear from them, and what information I should expect? I’d also like to know any tips/info about the course if anyone has any! Thank you!!
