Guys, few more questions..
How we can get to Maastricht from Amsterdam(Schiphol)...are there trains from airport, or should we get to the central-rail station in Amsterdam...?

Home | NS

dutch train services, you could plan your journey there.

from ams schiphol you can catch trains going to sittard or utrecht where you have to change train going directly to Maastricht.

Travelling from Brussles to Maastricht, do I need to buy the ticket online, or I can do that at the station? Any difference or? I hope the employees at the station know English.

Hi there guys,

I am invited for the 1st Phase to Maastricht which will be held on 16th of June.

It is a little bit difficult to find a good connection directly to Maastricht. Is anyone flying to DUS on 15th of June? Or does any of you know know how to get direct to Maastricht from Dusseldorf Airport in less than 3-4 train connections?

Cheers

you can buy on the spot as well however i think it would be cheaper to buy that in advance.
in the benelux states basically everybody speaks English, especially hollands and luxo guys.


however be prepared for that in the Netherlands they dont really accept foreign credit or debit cards unless that's a maestro, so always have some cash with you.

try Dusseldorf - Aachen by train - there's a bus stop just outside of Aachen train station.
Buses leave from there going directly to Maastricht; takes about an hour.

Waiting for update after email last week saying 'We will be in contact in due course with regards to an invitation to Phase 1 selection testing here at EUROCONTROL Maastricht UAC.'

How long shall I expect to wait, I'm hoping for at least a few weeks notice in order to book flights and trains...

I did the FEAST test (including DART) at NATS, UK over 3 years ago.

Congrats to everybody who passed phase 1!
How many people were there in your group? Do you have any idea how many passed the first tests?

Hey all, I'm just new at the forum because I have some questions regarding this issue.

How much time did it take since the day you sent your visual certificate up until they called you?

It's because I'm right in the middle of an interchange programme and I have both Eurocontrol and my country (NAV Portugal) pending applications and I would like to schedule my life for the forthcoming months and it'd be nice to have an idea of how much time it takes.

Thanks in advance!

Same here T250. Got an e-mail about three weeks ago now saying they have all my information and would be in touch shortly about a phase one testing date at MUAC but heard nothing as of yet.

I hope they won't call me when I have my exams in July. It would be a nightmare because I don't want to postpone my exams nor this opportunity.

In other news, does the education level have any influence on the process?

I got invited for 14th but can't make it cause of current work commitments.

They wouldn't offer any alternative dates and said they'd contact me in a few months if they're still looking for candidates.

So, if they're not looking for candidates in a few months I'm automatically out even without doing the tests?

Thanks for nothing!

You're probably not out as in, you can't apply, but you will have to wait until the next round of tests are arranged.

You didn't expect them to arrange extra tests for you did you?
