Stelar said almost everything..
The money you get back is the amount of the cheapest ticket you can get!! For example, if you chose to fly with KLM for a 1000 euro's, and you can also fly with British airways for 300 euro's, you'll get 300 euro's in return (if i remember correctly)
You also get 10 euro's extra for all the bustickets you need. From trainstation (if you arrive at Maastricht station) to hotel, from hotel to EC and those 2 back.
But indeed.. just bring all the tickets + bank account form and you'll be allright.. Takes about a week or 2 before you get the money from EC..

Get your id, complete the online form, send your diplomas. EC will then send you the Certificate of Visual Performance form that you will have to send back after you have your eye check.

In the invitation email, in one of the docs, you can find how to get to the Tulip Inn and Eurocontrol.
Also a link is provided for more info about the bus connection (where you will also find the schedule).

Dear Barxi
as band1tu has already written there is a link to a timetable somewhere in the invitation mail.
But be sure to get there at the bus stop in time because the Mighty 59 Line is a bit strange and the buses tend to arrive and leave a bit earlier/later than they supposed to:]
By the way it's a 20 minutes comfy walk from the Tulip Inn to the EC so if you'd like to get some fresh before the tests than it might worth it to by walk instead of bus.
Good luck with your tests!

Thanks for the email.
I have tried to check the timetable but I could not find it. How long does it take from the train station to the hotel?
I will wait for your reply.
Thanks in advanced.

Hey
I jst came out of Phase 2 exam and i failed.
The drawings in the last parts are about mechanical items like a watch gear or a screw and they are attached with rubber bands.
it's not 3D only 2D but no way u can draw the whole thing
u have 5min to get the drawing from your partner.
jst make sure to draw wa he says they dnt care if u can draw or nt as long as wa the info he gives u is wa u draw.
then opposite way around.
Outta 6ppl only 1 guy passed
I ll need to check somewhere else to do it

Hey Wolf,
I'm sorry you failed. That really sucks!
There are a lot of other places you can try offcourse.. But you chose EC for a reason I geuss. Good luck finding something new!
The drawing is indeed a mechanical picture. Gears, chains, rubber bands.. Just try to learn the words
I for example forgot the word gear.. (sorry Gina! xD)
I discribed it as a circle, but the outside is not a line, it looks like the top of a castle wall
The observer loved it!!
So just try to draw as accurate to the information you get and try to explain everything as good as possible!!
Good luck!

Waiting for Phase 1 date
Hey guys,
Amazing amount of information here. Thanks to everyone who took the time to post their experiences and share the structure of the assessment.
I received an email before Christmas stating that I would receive an invitation to phase 1 testing in Maastricht early in the new year. I have not heard anything yet, but eagerly checking my emails all the time waiting for the date.
What I've done so far to be expecting the email with the date:
Would be delighted to talk to people who may be invited on the same date. PM me if you want to talk about it.
I will keep everyone posted on any updates I receive.

I just wanted to drop in and wish good luck to those that will attend phase 1 and 2. Just remember: stay focused and keep your cool.

Hi! Im new here too.
Thanks to everyone, the forum is really helpful!
I've been invited also to phase 1 on January 25th!!
People say there is no so much preparation to do for it, anyway the information about the phase 1 tests is all in wikipedia:
FEAST test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
good luck!

Hey new guys,
The link pepitoperepere provided is almost everything that's in the FEAST test.
Indeed, you don't need any preperation.. People say you have to play Tetris a lot so just play it for half an hour Maybe it helps..
But don't try to train yourself.. It's really something you have in you.. If you train now, they pick you out during training or maybe in another phase of the selection..
Many luck and best wishes to you!

Just wondering what happened to the Phase 2 guys who were there on Wednesday the 19th. Just found out I failed the interview
Best of luck to all.
Oh, and on a side note, the SDM test wont be around too much longer, I was asked to participate in the trial run of some new software called DART (Dynamic ATC something something) - it still has a long way to go though.
