You should ask them for a copy of their ATCO recruitment CD which I have still got from 2000 in my application pack. Its called 'Skyscape, Your International career as and air traffic controller' with Eurocontrol. I would have thought it has been updated by now but there are some very good quizzes on there which test both your ATC knowledge and aptitude, and it gives a detailed insight into life as an ATCO with Eurocontol at Maastrict UAC. It also contains interviews/ questions with some current Eurocontrol controllers.
Well worth getting hold of before going for your selection I'd say!

Sorry Doc,
They don't refund travel costs!,
, I went to Manchester for the selection and to be fair, it wasn't that costly
since am based in London, I would have gone to the London selection however it as all booked up!, then it would have cost me nothing! well next to nothing!

Yes, it will be very costly indeed!
Have you applied to both NATs and Eurocontrol? since they are the two that i have noticed is most written about, in most cases in a positive light, I deduct from this as them being the top companies to work for

Ok so it basically is a scholarship program with no fee's attached..?
Bah, just realised the training program is only for undergraduates and graduates. I'm just a lonely college dropout.

Hey,
Sadly,very sadly i did not make it past the afternoon session, oh well...
what i did want to say is that if you have GCSE's maths and english grade above C ghost and you are under 25, then you have met half the minimum requirements, the next is your eye sight
I would advise if you really are interested you really should apply, I did not make it, but from what i can say about the company is that they sound a great company to work for and the process to getting invited for phase one was quite smooth,

Really??, do you think I can get in with my GCSE's? and no alevels or degree's? I have got all my GCSE's above grade C.
And since presently working as a dispensing optician, I've had more then my shares of eye examinations.
Thanks sweetlady1122002, I'll def try and apply to eurocontrol aswell.
I'm really sorry that you didnt make it thru.
Are you planning on reapplying to Nats or eurocontrol again?
