Im in the same boat, attended the Stage 3 assessment a week before you did! Had the same email asking for notice periods, got my hopes up 😅

I’m also still waiting to hear back and now wondering if we’re just waiting for bad news. Wish they’d just inform us by now. Did they tell you how long it would take to get an outcome?

Experienced ATCOs
Hi, has anyone applied through the Experienced ATCO route that closed a couple of months ago. My application is still sitting in "Being Processed" and I'm not sure how long to expect it to take to get any kind of feedback.

Hi,
I completed my stage 3 assessment on 20th October, I had the email outlining notice periods etc 2 weeks ago but since then I’ve heard nothing.
I did ask at the assessment when we should expect to be told the outcome and was told 3 weeks.
I can only guess it’s going to be negative news.

Yeah me too. I don’t understand why it’s taking them so long to update some of us.
Especially since they said that we’re not competing against others, just ourselves. So they should know how we scored and if we passed or failed any of the tests especially since there were lots of assessors.

I rang them yesterday and spoke to someone at reception who just said to be patient as they’ve been busy - I was on the 27th for my assessment - was told could expect to hear in a couple of weeks but some of you were told 3. Again not sure if this prolonged wait is a bad sign 🥲

I had my assessment end of October - like others I received an email asking for my notice period - that got my hopes up but its worn off now haha.
Everyone who’s been offered a place seems to have been offered the January course which my notice period wouldn’t allow for so I’m curious if anyone else who is still waiting to hear back has a notice period which wouldn’t allow them to start in January?
I just want to be put out of my misery now - it’s been about 6 months since I passed stage 2 😅
