NATS Initial Test Results
Hi all,
First off I'd like to thank all of the chaps and chapesses on here for suppliyng such helpfull info for all of us wannabe ATCO's. The advice I found on here helped me alot during my initial selection tests at the beginning of the month. Was just wondering if anyone can shed some light on how long NATS usually take to tell you whether you have been successful or not? The only reason I ask is that I know for a fact that someone else who sat the tests the same day as me (6th June) heard that they were unsucssseful last Friday via e-mail. Should I be worried that I haven't heard anything yet? |
Hi Mitch,
I can't offer any further knowledge but if it helps at all I did my tests on the 8th and have heard nothing yet. We just have to sit on our hands and wait I guess. :hmm: |
I wouldn't read anything into it, sometimes they let you know 2 days later, sometimes its 3 weeks later. :rolleyes:
|
Cheers for that guys. Looks like we'll just have to sit it out.
Just want to find out what's happening though. :cool: |
NATS can be awful at getting back to you re applications and interviews. It's a bit random, don't be surprised if you're waiting a few weeks. Give it a little while and then start pestering them with phone calls.

The general concensus seems to be that no news is good news. Although not foolproof, in my experience this has been true. Last year it took nearly 4 weeks to get initial selection results, which I passed, and then 4 days to get interview results, where I failed the personnel part:{ :{
Sit tight and hope for the best:D |
I'm trying not to get excited without hearing anything, but it's hard to when I know that a friend has allready had a knock back. Would they not tell everyone who has been KB'd at the same time?
We were told that it could be up to 3 weeks before we get the results, which is up on Tuesday. I'm beginning to think that they might be holding off telling the passees that they have been successful in order to make the i/v's harder. I have a friend who is an ATCO, and he assures me that the i/v's here are taking place first week in July. Could it be that they are holding of so as to give us an even bigger challenge in preparing for the i/v's? Who knows! :bored: |
Doesn't sound very likely. You can book your interview for whatever date/location that is available so would make no sense in holding back results as you could just book an interview somewhere else.
I think what is more likely is that NATS are 'erratic' in their response times. It (probably) bodes well that somebody on your day has been refused and you haven't heard yet. It can be frustrating but if you're really worried then call HR and ask. |
I got my results from the Manchester selection (30th May) last friday 16th June - about 2 and a half weeks later...

I have a friend who is an ATCO, and he assures me that the i/v's here are taking place first week in July. Yes, there are interviews going on in early July, as there are in late July, and early August, and late August, and early September........etc etc. |

I was told that due to the huge number of applicants, I had to have my interview within 3 weeks of receiving the email to say I was successful - Interview is 4th July in Glasgow...
