Did you receive good news in the end?
I ended up getting a call on the Thursday (28th) with the news. I have a start date in July at Gloucester.

Holy cow - it's over
So I just got an email 20 minutes after I leave the building telling me I passed DART. I am an accountant by trade so imagining myself as an ATC just became a little less fantasy! The test day was great. We started at 10. 13 entered of which 7 failed the FEAST. Apparently its rare that half of the applicants pass but we did it. The tests started out very straightforward and progressed in difficulty, but they really ease you into it and with the right mindset there's no chance you will panic.
I am happy to answer any questions about the day via PM. Wish you all the best of luck and thanks to posters in this thread for tips!

Hey!
I'm in the same situation. I passed stage 3 early February and apart from getting an email about my medical date, have not heard anything else!
Might try giving them an email. Is it just the recruitment email address you used?
Cheers

Correct, we don't receive that payment. Accommodation and three meals per day are paid for by NATS directly to FTE Jerez.

No weekend allowance - however with the lack of paying out for accommodation and food coupled with the cheap Social Club prices (and "interesting" measures!), you really don't need much more than your salary!

If anyone had had their Stage 3 interview recently and could help out with any tips or advice they found would be helpful it would be much appreciated.
Also is it just a straight forward interview? The latest posts relating to it on this thread would suggest it is but the email still contains reference to competency, technical and Eurocontrol test elements.

There shouldn't be any Eurocontrol testing at Stage 3, think that was done at some CTC-based Stage 3 interviews but they're not setup at Prestwick for that. It'll be an interview, and some testing around the document.
Good luck!

Thanks Trevor Hannant, I have been trying to get as much info as I could including learning the booklet an also managing to book a visit to Prestwick prior to Stage 3 however still hasn't helped with the pre-interview nerves.

For myself it was the next day, but depending on how busy they are it sounds like it can take a couple of weeks. Nearly two months though is excessive so maybe drop them an email or give them a call?

I did my stage 3 at the beginning of February and found out about 6 days after. I think they quote something like 30 days (might be wrong) so this seems quite a long time - definitely would drop the recruitment people an email

Hi all,
Heard from recruitment yesterday that my start date will be October in Jerez - wanted to see if anyone else on here has the same course?
I hope the weather is nice in the winter...

CarolineS - I've seen your message and yes I am on the July course, but I can't message you as it says your inbox is full. Sometimes that happens if you're new and don't have a posting history! Post a little on here and then it should work.
