Congrats hr97!!

Did they give any clues as to when the next courses are? I got through end of the old system but have just been told early 2020. Have they been any more specific with you?

Now comes security checks, referencing, and medical!

They just said the same to me, which I don't mind because I have to do my final year of my uni course first haha

Congratulations on all who got their call today, or will get it later on! Well done!

I received an e-mail stating I was unsuccessful so I guess it will be a year of preparation for me.

Good luck to all and see you in the Tower somewhere haha

Medical application form

Sorry to be asking you guys but the CAA medical application form is it asking current occupation and employer or NATS and ATCO?

There's obviously a few irrelevant questions also without the option of N/A. With a 48hr turnaround thought I might get a quick answer on here.

Thanks!

I put NATS & TATC on mine. Don't panic too much though as you have to bring a form with you for the medical and sign it witnessed by the doctor, so you can always fill in the blanks with them there.

I was told it’s not important and you can put either. So I went with NATS and TATC :-)

Guess this means you were successful? Congratulations!!

Good afternoon all

On Monday of this week I received a call informing me I had passed stage 3, I think I was probably in the first wave of responses. Had a busy week at work so struggled to get on here and update.

I was told the sameas other successful candidates that it will be early 2020 however that’s no bother to me.

I have completed the references and medical forms and returned them to their respective addresses however I haven’t received an email regarding the security at this stage. Guess that will come at a later date.

For those who passed stage 3 in the OLD process and who will have requested their medical earlier than us recent folk, have you had any progression in booking your medical date or are you all still waiting?

Well done to everyone who have passed and good luck to everyone who are waiting on a response.

You’ll probably be looking at Sep/Oct for your medical I imagine. Once you’ve returned the medical form, you’ll have that booked in... just sit tight and you’ll hear back soon enough.

I was accepted April 2nd and only just had medical on 4th July. Does take a while as they have all current controllers to go through the medical centre too.

Security clearance process can't be started until you're within 6 months of your start date.

That's quite a good speed, thanks for letting me know.

I've advised the medical team i'll be away on holiday in Sept so hoping they can get me in before then, if not it will probably be October.

I've never had a medical before so i'm intrigued - a quick look on NATS website and they display this infographic of all the tests completed on the day. Is this correct?

Hi hunteruk ,
Thank you so much as I was revising maths in my free time and now I can focus on cognitivity tests.
