Sorry to hear that Erikk! What are your plans now? Are you still aiming to become an ATC by some other method or is it going to be something else now?

Did they let you know why you failed the interview part?

Well I still would love to work at Eurocontrol as ATCer, I could give it a try at the Dutch ATC organization and then switch to EC after a few years but due personal circumstances it is not possible for me to move. (Note: Maastricht is only 25km from were I live a.t.m. ;-))

I still would like to work in the aviation business, I'm orientatining right now on what my future is going to be. I have a background in ICT and atm I have a decend job.

Enough about me... ;-)

What concerns the feedback, I am waiting for a phonecall from the HR guy. He would contact me before the end of this week.
You have to ask for feedback explicit, I would recommend anyone to ask for feedback even if you are not going to reapply.

Failed the interview I had yesterday.

This morning I got my result. We were only six people, three of us failed, I'm waiting the others response...

We were about 60 people on january, at phase1, they keep wiping people till the end.
By the way, I have no chances left.

Today is a sad day gents...

Hi folks;

Just a quickie about the application process, i filled in the form and everything but was then asked to send in my school leaving certificate. Ive scanned that and sent it, but it seems a bit odd to me as it actually says nothing about what grades i got and makes no mention of my university degree etc. Im wondering if this is something that has got lost in translation and they are actually expecting to see a load of exam certificates?

Anyone have any clues?

Steve

Do you wear glasses/contact lenses? If so, refraction is basically what strength your glasses are. The ATC medical requires between + and - 5 i think (im -3.5). If you dont wear glasses and can see 'perfectly' then this is likely to be 0 (though in truth its unlikely to be exactly 0, 20:20 vision is not 'perfect' vision, it is possible to be better, though few are!

Greetings Everybody
For those of you who applied to EUROCONTROL and received either an invitation or a message declining progression to stage 1, I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how much time passed between them submitting their application and certificates to receiving some feedback.
Thank you.

hello!

Hello folks. I've been waiting since March for an answer about PHASE 1 testing in MUAC, and they told me that March was cancelled, and I was told that the next phase would be in MAY, but they haven't told me that I WAS GOING ON MAY. Any clues? Does anybody has a confirmation regarding going during MAY ?
Cheers

Smile Hello :)

I would like to ask those of you who have already been thru phase 1.
Could you help me with theese:

1) At the ball on the wall test I was trying to imagine that if there are 4 screens (2 in the upper, 2 in the lower row) it must be really hard to give correct inputs as the numbers (1,2,3,4) are next to each other on the keyboard... Or is it possible to operate it with buttons that are in two rows (like for examp buttons R,T and FG on the keyboard)?

2) In the Strip Management Display did it ever happen to you that you should have put more strips below one checkpoint than available space is so it got full not leaving any place to put new strips in?

3) Is there any rule or tip how opposite conflict detection should be done? How can I recognize it???

4) When am I allowed to remove a strip? When the system time passes by the time on the strip?

I know these questions seems stupid for those of you who are familiar with strip management, I didnt do anything like this before...

Thanx in advance!

He means exams at his college.

Anyway guys, I was wodering how do they test your English knowledge. Is there a written test? Also, is there any IQ, or logic paper test. Croatian selection is filled with that kind of tests.

Thanks
