FEAST2 Belgocontrol
I didn`t receive anything nor my colleague which also take the FEAST 1.
Do you have any idea about how many will be invited. 800-900 people for FEAST1 do not seems to be very high number.
Maybe you know something else.
Do you think they will send also the negations? I think I don`t want to receive an envelope and to read a negative answer but that way I will not expect to 19.04.
How was your exam?

I also received an invitation for the FEAST 2 tests. Do you have any info about these tests? Cannot find any clear statement about these exercises. Do you know what percentage of applicants they took? 800-900 is a lot! I'm going on the 12th April in the morning...

Congratulations to the ones invited for FEAST2 !
In the letter they say that if you will pass the FEAST2 the interview will be in the same day or the fallowing day??
Is very important for foreigners( We will be out of money for airplanes and we will walk to Brussels
)
If you in Belgim received today means that is possible for foreigners to have invitation on post in three days (today plus two).
What I know is they started on 09.03 and finished on 24.03. Each day two shifts of 40 people meaning 80 people per day minus the ones who did not came minus the day off of our colleagues from Belgocontrol. Around 800-900 people. In the last year they chose 300 for the FEAST 2. Meaning the chances are quite big.

FEAST2
For the interested people, I have some more info about FEAST2.
I've done it 3 years ago (2007 exam sessions).
There are two parts:
1- Learn the rules on how to sort flight strips and detect conflicts. about 1h
followed by exercise - about 15-20min.
break (10-15min)
2 - the test: apply the rules. Approx 45min of non interrupted flight strips on your screen. Focus intensive work!

Feast 2
Hello!
I've also got an invitation for feast 2, on april 13th on the morning. Is it much harder than step 1?
Can someone describe exactly how the strip sorting exercices work? I Heard the the screen was divided into 2 parts, each corresponding to an airport and that you had to avoid conflicts in some way???? Can someone be more precise about that?
As for for the number of applicants, Sorin you were right, there were about 900 people for part 1. However I don't know how many % got to part 2.
All the best luck for everyone!!!!

FEAST2
S.G.
This part is more focus intensive. The point of the exercise is to learn the sorting and conflicts rules in a certain time and then to apply them... (seperation between A/C's...)
You can find some description on the net (look for feast - eurocontrol. There's a wiki somewhere... at eurocontrol it is part of feast1), but no pics...
Sorin:
The best you can do is have a good night before the test. Get there with a fresh head and once it begins, just focus...
The skills there are looking for are focus and learning capabilities and multi-tasking (sort and detect conflicts at the same time...).
Don't bother if you miss some conflicts, just work till the end... that's how i went trough it 3 years ago.
For your previous question:
The next steps will be taken later on.
Like this time you'll have to wait for the result (letter) and then come back to BRU. Last time, the 3rd and 4th parts of the exams were on the same day (begin with english, then if you pass it, you go through for the interview, then patiently wait for the result at home...)

Hello everyone !
First of all, congratulations to those who passed FEAST1 !!
I'm posting this message to find some help. For those I haven't written to yet, I'd like to switch the day for FEAST2.
I have to go on the 14th at 12:45 and that day is the day I'll do the ENAC tests ( french ATC exams) so as I'd really like to try both, maybe someone can switch with me ? I'd like to go on the 12th or on the 13th...
PLEASE HELP ME !!!!
Thank you all for reading this.

Congratulations
I think because FEAST 2 is very hard they have to chose a lot of people.
Wekke, when did you receive the invitation?
In Romania they did not appear yet and we wonder if anywone from outside Belgium already received. Now is Eastern everywhere and probably they will have a delay.
Actually 20 person per job is not a very big competition for a position like that and for 4 exams.
Good Luck to every participants,
Happy Eastern for those who celebrate,
Sorin

Any feedback from anyone who have already had the test on the 7th, 8th or 9th?
Any harder than Feast 1? How is dealing with the stress and how intense is it?
I read that it is a strip sorting exercice, how long is it and how many checkpoint are there?
Any tip welcome for Eurocontrol candidates as well.
Thanks

I just called belgocontrol... All letters should be send, they don't send info through e-mail this time, only by ordinary post. They told me also to send an e-mail to Eric Habels, the man in charge, to see if i get any confirmation through him.
