Hey guys,
Long time lurker of these forums!
Just signed up to tell that I've received an e-mail which states that I did pass the group assessment but that I am not included in the first training session (of September).
Meaning they build up some kind of reserve to contact for future training sessions. Anyone else got this response?
@bols: You stated you didn't pass the group assessment? Did you get an e-mail telling you so? If not, you might want to check your mail!

Hi guys,
I'm also an long time lurker of these forums.
Got a phone call that i passed the tests but i'm also not included in the first training session. I think i'm pretty high up in the reserve list because they are still sending me to the medical examination the 4th of August.
You guys mind if i join the facebook group? Even if i don't join this year it would still be awesome to share your experiences during the training
Good luck to the guys (or girls) that made it!

Hi All,
I received the same message as SCatc: passed the tests but not selected for the September training (and no invitation (yet) for the medical) and put in a reserve. So for the time being I just have to wait and hope for a new training in the coming years.
Anybody any idea on how big the chance is the they will use the reserves? Maybe from past experiences?
Anyhow, all the best for the ones that can start in September!

I can't be sure, of course, since I only know about the people I met at the medical assessment and on the Facebook group, but I have a feeling most of the candidates are Flemish.
Of the 6-7 attendees on the day I had my medical check, only 2 were French-speaking (1 or 2 of the total group were part of the reserve list.) This may of course not be the division as it is in the actual group.

On my medical exam there were also 2 French-speaking persons, of which one was on the reserve list.
I do know from one of them that there were only 12 French-speaking candidates left in the group case (only 2 sessions of 6 candidates), while there were still 54 Dutch-speaking candidates left at that moment.

To the people who got into the training program this september, could you elaborate on:
1. How the Medical exam went? (How strict? How and what do they test?)
2. How the training is going? (How are your typical days? Is it hard?)
Would love to hear your experiances with it.
Thanks allot and good luck!

Hi All,
In reference to the above and the fact Belgocontrol presumably is going to hire additional atco's, does anybody know which medical requirements apply?
In the document on Belgocontrol's website the links have been removed, although it still stipulates a MB from July 25th 2008 (based on Eurocontrol's class 3 requirements).
But in the meantime EASA regulation 2015/340 has been published with new regulations. Is this already applicable in Belgium or are there other laws/regulations still valid?
Thanks and best regards

I'm also hoping for some kind of answer regarding the question of bel99. How does the medical exam take place? And how strict are they on certain area's (I suppose eyes are the main focal point)?
Kind regards,
SCatc

Good luck to everybody taking part in the interviews today.
To give you some idea: the training is very intense, with a rather steep learning curve.
I'm not sure, but concerning the medical, I think the EU regulations are now applicable.

Did anybody hear back from the interviews that happened on Monday? I was told a decision would be made on Tuesday, but I haven't heard anything yet (which, I guess, is bad news for me).

@Philankor
I had mine on Tuesday and haven't heard anything either... Did they say they would contact you on Tuesday already or that just the decision was going to be made then? I'm not sure if they had anyone come in Wednesday or Thursday.
Since the first class starts within the month already I do expect them to notify at least by the end of this week... But maybe no news is bad news.. Be sure to keep us updated!
