ARN = Stockholm Arlanda I think.Skål

@ARN

I'm not bragging about anything . The first part from day 1 is reciting as a robot something which is written in a booklet . Anyone with motivation can do that . If i had past all 3 stages then yeah i would have been very happy bout myself but still woudn't brag . ARN in my list is Angorarn , Papua New Guinee . Think IATA does't respect the unicity rule.

Brag when you're a valid ATCO mate...Not really the done thing though.There yet?

We all tend to brag sooner or later. It's not easy, i am aware of that.

@ GAPSTER - who is bragging, apart from you tough ego?

This is great!

there aren't bad or good jobs . there are only jobs done good or bad . i woudn't brag even if i was a valid ATCO . i figured where your gap is GAPSTER

Guess thats a fair statement.

Stage 1 - Monday 7th Jan
 

Anyone got results yet from stage 1 on Monday 7th Jan, it appears some have ????

February selection
 

Hello to all,

Is anyone going to Stage 1 on 11th of February and maybe staying in Premier Inn from 10th?

Good luck to all who will have interviews in this month :)

No I have not heard anything yet. Why do you think people have had results back? I have not seen anything on here yet. It's been a long nervous week!

I've had results from 7th Jan.. :P

Hey all, good luck to those sitting the tests or waiting on results!

Anybody going to the Stage 1 on 7th of Feb?

For the sake of my sanity I hope some of you don't make it to live training

olib0b - you must be better than everyone else. congrats...

20th and 21st of January
 

Anyone has any stage scheduled for the 20st of January (sunday)? If so, please pm me, I'll be driving on the 20th towards Fareham and I'll cross the euro tunnel, so I can go south though the coast or north through London. If someone needs a lift, let me know. Also, if someone will spend the night and is looking forward to have dinner it would be great too. On the 21st I'll do the return way, so please feel free to drop me a line if you need a ride to somewhere. My return schedule and route is as flexible, so I can drop you off wherever needed, even if just a portion of the way such as Fareham-Winchester.

Good luck to everyone going through the states. :ok:

Hey, I have one question before blindly applying as an trainee ATCO for NATS . I am from Romania . Romanians MUST obtain a working permit to work in order to work in the UK at the moment . In the application process I was asked if I have the right to work in the UK . Considering the fact that my working right is conditional ( meaning i have to obtain a blue card to have free rights to work there ) am i eligible to apply ? Sorry I haven't contacted HR about this matter but they seem pretty busy at the moment due to high number of applicants . Thanks

AFAIK you must be eligable to work just to apply, so before you have the permitt you can not apply, as I've understood it.

Then again, the only people who can answer it 100% is HR.


And have they started stage 1s during weekends now? I wonder who the poor person who'll have to come in on a weekend is...

So... how is everyone going with the booklet material? I'm in on the 24th for Stage 1. Feeling pretty good about it at the moment, just trying to memorise all the aircraft (any tips?).

Has any one else had their results back from the 7th?

aawallace: I hate to be a killjoy, but the post at the top of that same very page is someone saying they have so..

I can safely say: Yes! Some other people have heard from 7th :P

I hope your results were as you wished!

P.S. On learning aircraft Manderson, it is totally up to your style of learning, but personally i find making flash cards quite a useful revision tip.
