Belgocontrol FEAST 2015
Anyone else signed up for this one?
Did you already get a reply of some sort after your registration?
It would be interesting to see how many of us are going to take part in this holy war

Hello guys,
I'm scheduled on March 2nd. Hope to see you guys there !
We are roughly 3500 having applied for the job. According to Belgocontrol, only 12 will be admitted to the training process. Let's try to make the most of it

3500 for 12 seats. Almost sounds like a walk in the park compared to other examinations I've taken in the past with 15000 applicants for 7 spots. XD
I haven't been recontacted yet though. Guess I should drop an e-mail to the recruiters.

So how did it go for the lucky ones that already went through it?
I'm still waiting for my invitation, I tried to contact them via mail but no response so far... hope they didn't skip me for whatever reason though I have a candidate number.
How many days in advance do they sent out the invitations?

Hello everybody.
I have also registered for the test, but still havn't got no answer. There is one thing that reassures me : if there is session every open day since the 2nd of March and 180 persons pass the test each day, they need 20 days for everybody (suppose the 3500 are elligible).
People have reported here invitations up to the 11th of March. If we make the math, it makes 8 test days so far. So 1440 candidates invited so far.
I've registered the 5th of February so the day before registration were closed and I've asked the HR about it and they confirmed that registrations are treated chronologically.
I guess this is normal but still, i'm kinda worried. Has someone received a negative answer yet or an invitation date over the 11th ?
Thanks.

I've enrolled online on the 5th of february as well and I got my invitation by mail on the 26th and by letter on the 27th.
My test is the 10th of March.
And if you want to contact them I think it's best to do it by telephone, I guess these days they're very busy with all the testing and so on...
Don't mean to discourage you, from what I've heard they invite everybody that has registered.

Ok it's reassuring to know they invite people chronologically.
I applied on the 23rd of January, so I should *hopefully* get an invitation soon.
The waiting for the invitation mail is more stressful than the exam itself...

So I called them this morning and got a nasty surprise. My application is not valid. Reason: They do not recognise my (french) Bachelor's degree, even though only a high school diploma is required. It needs an equivalence statement... I've checked, it takes ~4 months to get it done, so it would have been utterly impossible to obtain in during the very short timeframe between the beginning of the application and the deadline. Note that there is NO MENTION of it whatsoever in the entrance requirement published on their website:

I hope you guys from abroad sent in a equivalence statement when applying, otherwise you're done.
Ironic that a country which capital is also the capital of the EU doesn't give a damn at all about the Bologna process and ECTS credits...

I think the rules were pretty ambiguous about that. They said that degrees need to be omologated, but did not specify anything about high school diplomas. Mine is an European title, which is supposed to be recognized in every country of the EU, being also always accompanied with a translation for all official languages; but I guess that didn't do for me either.

It is indeed a bit "nasty" as you said, but to be honest, what are the chance for a Belgian citizen to apply AND get a job in France as ATCO ? I guess everyone has a tendency to keep the job the locals...

Dears,
I applied the night of deadline 5 minutes before midnight.
I received yesterday the letter, and this has caused a sun eclipse... What will happen then if I pass the exams? Lool
Good luck to all of us.
If someone has already been there could you please tell us how is the feeling and give us some advice.
Of course not in details as it is illegal.
