As far as I know there are several Spanish Maastricht controllers on PPRuNe, they may be able to give you an answer about the difference in lifestyle (posting on the 'Spanish' part of the forum might trigger a more specific response). Looking out of the window I have to admit the weather could be ... well ... somewhat of an issue ... :\

Going over for phase 1 on Monday, just got my invite this morning.

Anyone else?

You lack just as much sun in the Netherlands as you do in the UK, seems to be a problem which is hard to get away from! Unless you apply for Aena in Spain that is... ;)

I'm also going to phase 1 on Monday!!!
Nice to see I won't be alone :uhoh:

We will be happy if you share some experiences after the big day :] Good luck!

Should be no complaints about the weather this morning.

Both of us made it to the afternoon session.

Should know by this time tomorrow.

Just got the result by mail : I passed it!!!
:O

But I don't know how many from the yesterday selection did...

I also passed :)

I guess I'll be seeing you again :)

Heeeeeey guys, congrats. Can you share with us some behind-the-scene info or experiences or anything like that? yeah i know read the wikipedia article but please... i'm going to write the feast in may so i'd be happy getting any plus information.
it was easy? it was easy but long? how about the cube test? did you have time to practice the exercises before it started?
cheers

Congrats both of you!!! :ok:

Hello!!

I don't have much to say that is not already in the forum...
It wasn't easy but it was fun so don't worry and just try to be in shape...

The test of the cubes need a lot of reflexion but not more than the other tests so it's perfectly feasable!!

Instructions are really well explained and you always have some training before the real test to really understand what you'll have to do...

Good luck!

Stage 2
 

Hey guys,

I have just found out that I have been invited for Stage 2 @ Eurocontrol :ok::ok:

I was just posting to see if anyone had any hints and tips, or experiences - of the Stage 2 assessment.

Any info. would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks,

Phase 2 on the 5th May, just got the invite documents now.
Hope I can get the time off work.

Has anyone had experience with postponing/deferring a phase 2 testing?
I don't want to do that but it may be necessary :/

Hey Tchocky i sent you a private message yesterday :(

Tchocky, just give them a ring, no harm in asking!

hey all,
I am just curious how often the stage 1 selection tests occur? I see candidates were invited recently to take the tests. when will the next testing occur or is testing a regular occurance?
cheers.

Phase 2
 

Hey everyone I also have been invited to phase 2 on the 6th of may, does anyone had done that, what we gona do there, they say in the email something of flight plan...(???) are we gona fill an 1801 doc?? or trace a route anyway congrats to everyone that passed to phase 2 at the 20th of april.

Hey everyone, Can I ask, how long was it after you completed your online application and sent details of your school qualifications that eurocontrol got back to you about an interview?

Donnyboy,
they will then ask you to go for a full eye examination with your own optician and once you forward them the results of this then they will further assess your application.
