Stage 3

Be yourself
Demonstrate flexibility, thinking on your feet, team working, enthusiasm.

Prepare answers to competency type questions. Be prepared to expand and talk around your examples extensively.

Dress smart
Engage with the interviewers if they join you for lunch

Best of luck!

Still find myself waiting on stage 2 result from beginning of September. Can now only assume its not good news as many have taken and been informed since. Would be nice to know nonetheless :ugh:

Stage 3
 

Received an email at 9am this morning saying I'd passed Stage 3 !:O Anyone else from Friday (12th) received their results too?

Didn't make it, failed at stage 2... Sad day.. Do you know when we can re aply, is it 12 months after application or after we sat stage 1 ?

12 months since you did the initial online test. Don't hold your breath though, I should have been able to re-apply in October 2011......

Yeah patience is the key I think.... Is it common to go through the first time? Is there many re applicants at the college?

CorkieMonster - well done! You must be so thrilled :)

Cookie monster
 

Missed this! I received the email too, can't place who looked like a cookie monster on that day though :8 Congratulations!

Kimmikins, I was Mayor of Tin Town and had the number 1 on my name tag. Congratulations :) Was so used to hearing the next day that these last 3 days have a felt like a lifetime.

NATS interview process
 

Well done Kim and Corkie,
Was a no for me but I'm sure ill reapply next year

atc stage 2
 

hi, so can anyone elighten me on the types of things stage 2 consists of and how people who passed prepared and things :)

Does anyone knows is there an age limit for applicants? They told me in Nats that no age limit, but how does it looks in practice? Is anyone over 30 ?;(

I applied at 30, passed my course at 31

Can anyone tell me if its a good idea that I use a mouse for the initial online assessment or is a laptop touchpad sufficient? I understand some of the practise games may be involved.

Thanks
Luke

The 17th stage 2.
 

If anyone who sat stage 2 on the 17th of october(wednesday) gets an email, positive or negative let me know please. Thanks

I made it through to stage 3! so happy!

Im in
 

Just got the email and I passed stage 3, i think Champagne is in order. Did anyone else hear today?

I also just got the conditional offer after stage 3 :) I was in the Monday 15th group

I sat the stage 2 assesment day on wednesday (17th October) and had an email today saying i got through to stage 3 :) so shocked as i actually had 5 near misses on the DART test. If anyone has got any advise regarding stage 3 it would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah i got through to stage 3 too :) also from 17th

Congratulations!
 

Huge congratulations to all those with good news today! :)

It's reassuring to see people coming out of stage 3 with good results... fingers crossed for next week that i'll be able to post a happy message...

Stage 3
 

I also took stage 3 on Monday but not heard either way yet :/

Stage 3!
 

I was in stage 2 last Friday, heard I got through a couple of days ago. Really happy as I found DART pretty tough (weirdly did better in section 6 than section 5). Is anyone else doing stage 3 on November 1st? Congrats to all those who have passed :)

stage 1 results
 

Hi guys,
First post on forum after reading for a while!
I took stage 1 on the 1st October at 1pm.. but still haven't had results back yet. Just wondering if anyone still in same situation still?
Cheers
Jboy

Weekend results?
 

Does anyone know if NATS send out pass/fail emails on a weekend or is it only during the weekdays the emails are sent out?

Thanks

Considering they are sent by HR and they most likely work normal office hours I doubt they are sent on weekends, I've never heard of it anyway.

Thought that would probably be the case, many thanks ! :)

Still waiting from the 4th of Oct ,i believe that i havent many chances, nevertherless a guy told me that there will me a November group for the rest who succeed at Oct, but i dont believe in rumors...thinking to call them...

Hey all!! This is my first post and sadly it's not a good one! I had my stage 1 exam on 3rd October and a few days ago i got an email to say i was unsucessful! I know that i can try again in a year or 6months but i was just wondering what advice anyone has to give me? I heard that a lot of peopel in the college passed on their 2nd or 3rd attempt but i dont know if i can wait that long!

I also had a look at Eurocontrol but ireally do not fancy that :(

Now that you know what to expect, you can prepare a lot better for the next time round. I failed Stage 1 on my first attempt (personality questionnaire was MEAN then) and fell at the final hurdle on my second attempt...
I'm on November's course, so I'm proof that it can be done :ok:

Applied 14 weeks ago now and not heard anything. Had a few emails saying they were looking at my application but nothing else. Anyone else in this situation?

How did you fall at the final hurdle in your second attempt?? I know i'll never give up but i will be so gutted if i get rejected twice from them :(

Same here Tim, bit of a loss what to do. Graduating next year and really wanted to walk into a good job. Thankfull I've got a couple of other interviews lined up.

Final hurdle...
 

...made it to Stage 3 and didn't get through?

stage 3 results
 

I had my stage 3 on the 16th, anyone from then get their results yet?
The wait is agonising, judging from here, it looks like some who done their S3 on 15th have their results, so hopefully mine will come sooooon.

Stage 1 18th Oct
 

Anyone from Thurs 18th Oct Stage 1 received anything yet? Not holding out much hope although it has only been 3 working days :/

Some interesting comments here. It's quite easy to fall at the final hurdle. What you do is you turn up, and after a day of questions, they say you didn't make the grade. At least, that was my experience.

Nothing to it really.

Congratulations Kimmikins. It's good to hear that good old fashioned commitment still works on occasion. This is my second attempt, so fingers crossed for me. Thinking about it, I do not recall seeing any posts from people who got through the selection process first time. I guess people who do are perhaps less likely to go on forums like this, but I think it is a fairly rare outcome anyway.

As for "walking into a job".... If only it were that easy!!

I had mine on 18th and not heard either. What time were you at?

Im disappointed with NATS, as posted before, sat all stage 1 tests on 26th september but its nearly a month later now and no communication from them. Emailed last week and still nothing. I wouldnt mind at all if id failed to get through but id have just appreciated some response for some finality from it all. Good luck to all those still getting through the stages :)
