I got invited to Stage 1 a couple of years ago and ended up not going as i got offered something elsewhere, just got an email through today saying i've been invited to Stage 1. How odd as i've never applied recently, are they having a big recruitment drive? Tempted to go but i live 200 miles away from the only test centre and the only date left is in 2 weeks time at 11 in the morning. :(

You are lucky, there were none left for me 30mns ago.
You should take your chance!

How long did everyone wait before getting an email back after completing the online tests?

Just checked, nothing for me either! Ah well.

Did my Stage 1 this morning, and it was just as stressful as I remember! Good luck to all who took it today, I hope my nerves can hold out until the tell me if I'm through to Stage 2 :uhoh:

Just after I posted earlier, I received my email back saying I've been invited down to take part in stage 1. Does anyone know how often the appointments update on the link as currently there are none available. Thanks guys.

Good luck to everyone...
 

Hello everyone,

Seen a few folk at CTC this morning waiting on their stage 1 ATCO tests and just wanted to say good luck to everyone... Today was my first day as an Eng Tech so I have a rough idea about how you guys were/are feeling about your selections but yeah best of luck to everyone!

online test done...suppose even if i pass that then there wont be many (if any at all!) dates available... people still finding there are no dates?

Got my email to book stage 1 tests an hour ago, but no dates available. I hope more become available, but if they don't do i just wait in a holding pool until the next time or would i have to start again?

I was quietly giggling to myself watching all the staff pass and surrepticiously stare at the lambs waiting for slaughter :O

Hi Guys,

New to the Forum, but been reading through the posts and got some excellent information and guidance. Thanks so much for all your help guys. I have been invited to a Stage 1 Assessment, cant wait.. however I will have to as there is no dates available at the moment. I emailed NATS and got this reply:

Hi Richard

Thank you for your email. New dates will be available for you to book shortly. Please check the link you have been sent in a couple of weeks.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards

HR Services Recruitment

So I'll be checking every half an hour for the next couple of weeks probably. Best of luck to you all!!

invited for stage 1..no dates available of course..

Just a heads up guys, there are now dates/times available for those who completed the online assessment! Just booked mine for 26th September :ok:

Right folks slots are open !!!!!!
Book yours

Hi
 

Hi, new to this forum, I applied on the 7th August, i was invited to do an online test on the 30th, i was then (on the 31st) invited to phase 1 selection and i got a slot at 8:15 on the 26th September. 6 Hours on the Megabus to Southampton :)

Booked for the 20th 8:15. I will have to go there the night before.
But there is no place to stay.. everything is sold out!

Booked mine for the 26th @ 10.45am.

Now just need to find a suitable hotel. Anyone got a recommendation? I'll be in a car so don't mind a short drive.

I stayed at the premier inn in Fareham, it is a bit pricy though so if you have a car you may want to look elsewhere. I think there's a cheap b&b nearby somewhere but I never stayed there myself so I don't know the name...

Been invited too but won't be able to take any of available dates as I will be on a business trip.
Do you guys know if I will be re-invited for later dates?

only 1 date available..thats next week! and i'm away :/
