Don't think they have a standard period of time for that... just wait and in the meantime prepare yourself:D

Cheers!

Hello. I received the "wait for a date to attend phase 1" EMAIL on December... and they called me for 3rd June... and now I see that there are some people who applied on February and were called too :eek:! Conclusion: I really don't know which criteria they use in order to call people to attend PHASE 1 testings...
Cheers

FoxtroCharlie - that's exactly my point.. It seems like some sort of pre-screening... E.g. i believe I'm pushed down the list because my eyesight is not perfect - fits their requirements but is on the margin...

I received the (in)famous "wait for a date to attend phase 1" mail on March, and I'm invited for the 3rd of June. I believe I was just lucky but may be it's also because I contacted Ms Willems to ask when I could possibly attend phase 1. She responded that there's a waiting list, but who knows, perhaps contacting her and showing one's motivation helps to move up in this list (although I'm sure most of you have done it..).

It could be that we're just picked randomly for the selection because I don't really see the point in performing a pre-screening as you're invited for sure according to the "wait for a date to attend phase 1" mail. Besides my eyesight isn't the best either :}

So don't lose confidence, we're all at the same level and you will be invited eventually :ok:

my eyesight is poor, though within requirements and I received the invite about 3 weeks after Isent in the eyesight form and about 2 weeks after the 'we will be in touch soon' email.

I therefore suspect its more to do with which applications they get there hands on first, aside from which is the best. if I remember right there wasn't THAT much that could set each application apart.

Hey guys

I updated my blog. Read the last part dedicated to phase 2, its called the Operations Room, and check the bottom of the blog, one more tip about the interview.
I also added a new page called Simulators

becomeatco.b-l-o-g-s-p-o-t-.com
becomeatco.b-l-o-g-s-p-o-t.com/p/simulators.html

Maybe in Langen, January???

evolv, congrats on passing final interview

i just wanted to ask, how long did it take to go thru whole procces from phase 1 till the interview?

hi...i also received an invitation for the 2nd of june...wish you all goodluck! if anyone interested to talk about the subject pm me....i would really like to discuss more about the tests :)

Hello friends;)
I sent my application form the 18 of may and sent the diplomas the 24 of may.
Anyone knows how much time I must wait to receive the oftalmologic exam sheet?

Thank you.

asunyer, I waited a month inbetween sending them high school diploma and them sending me eye exam form.

EDIT: 50 days

:eek:
5 months???
I know people that gone to stage 1 in 1 month since they sent the 1st mail.

Wow... it's too slowly...

Yes, it seemed that way to me. But EC knows what it is doing.

And where do you arrive?
Passed it successfull??

I haven't been to selection process yet, waiting for a date like others. Considering they will fill up January course next month (maybe??? just speculation), they will probably invite me by the end of the summer. but like I said, that's just my speculation based on writings on this forum.

Congratulations :D

evolv, you mean 2011?
and you were thru extremely fast, i hope i will be done that fast as well :D

Well, serious congrats to you Evolv5... I am waiting for 3 months now but if they filled Jan 2011 course already then so long for my ATC career. I will be too old next September... :rolleyes:

Rutele, there are 3 courses in 2011. And I think you should be max 24 when you submit application.
