9th July
Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies on my question regarding the Manchester Area Control Centre. Good luck to all who are still waiting for their stage 3 and for those waiting for the results. Anybody else here also scheduled for 9th July for stage 3? |
Whilst I appreciate people are eager and wanting to get a step ahead of the process by knowing what’s going to be on the knowledge test and what aptitude assessments are taken on the day, being told this undermines the entire application process and puts both you and the people you ask at risk of being withdrawn from the process. Equally, certain assessments are conducted to specifically select a certain type of person based on their personality and aptitude, asking someone ‘What answers have you put and what personality have you portrayed’ is simply not acceptable and if anyone helps these people, then more fool you. Giving people advice on what to expect is fair enough, but wanting people to help you with the answers and how to manipulate certain traits just shows lack of judgment and a real lack of consciousness towards safety. Anyway.. what do I know? Just my two cents! Rant over :) |
Has anybody at/over their 30 days for stage 3 contacted NATS direct?

Mine was 13th but may give them a call next Friday and see if they can give any update. Sometimes makes me think the feedback email was actually commiserations. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'd assume that everyone received the survey email. I was told it would take approximately 30 days due to it being a new system - it definitely seems a long wait, but then again it hasn't technically been 30 days yet!

Given the new process, I think they might be running quite a few Stage 3 days first to guage the quality of applicants and get a damn good idea of how people are performing before making decisions. With that in mind, the 30 days period might be to ensure they meet enough applicants to judge the quality of us all. I'm on day 25, starting to get nerve wracking! |
Assuming the 30 day period is being followed, then some people should be hearing back by today? Good luck to those who do. Would be keen to hear how you got on!

So I guess no one who did stage 3 in the new system has heard back? or have some had decisions already

Congrats hr97!!
Did they give any clues as to when the next courses are? I got through end of the old system but have just been told early 2020. Have they been any more specific with you? Now comes security checks, referencing, and medical! |

Congratulations on all who got their call today, or will get it later on! Well done!
I received an e-mail stating I was unsuccessful so I guess it will be a year of preparation for me. Good luck to all and see you in the Tower somewhere haha :) |
Medical application form
Sorry to be asking you guys but the CAA medical application form is it asking current occupation and employer or NATS and ATCO?
There's obviously a few irrelevant questions also without the option of N/A. With a 48hr turnaround thought I might get a quick answer on here. Thanks! |

Good afternoon all On Monday of this week I received a call informing me I had passed stage 3, I think I was probably in the first wave of responses. Had a busy week at work so struggled to get on here and update. I was told the sameas other successful candidates that it will be early 2020 however that’s no bother to me. I have completed the references and medical forms and returned them to their respective addresses however I haven’t received an email regarding the security at this stage. Guess that will come at a later date. For those who passed stage 3 in the OLD process and who will have requested their medical earlier than us recent folk, have you had any progression in booking your medical date or are you all still waiting? Well done to everyone who have passed and good luck to everyone who are waiting on a response. |
You’ll probably be looking at Sep/Oct for your medical I imagine. Once you’ve returned the medical form, you’ll have that booked in... just sit tight and you’ll hear back soon enough. |
I was accepted April 2nd and only just had medical on 4th July. Does take a while as they have all current controllers to go through the medical centre too.
|
Security clearance process can't be started until you're within 6 months of your start date.

I've advised the medical team i'll be away on holiday in Sept so hoping they can get me in before then, if not it will probably be October. I've never had a medical before so i'm intrigued - a quick look on NATS website and they display this infographic of all the tests completed on the day. Is this correct? https://www.nats.aero/aeromedical-centre.html |
FAO The GP, who's just private messaged me - please clear your inbox/sentbox so I can reply :) As a new member I think the site temporarily limits your storage.

Hi everyone ,
First of all , congratulations to all who passed the Stage 3 and good luck to the rest of you waiting and/or about to apply for the job ! And second , I would like to ask if there is any maths test in Stage 1 ? |

There isn't anything maths related in Stage 1 or Stage 2, just cognitive tests / games and a personality questionnaire.
Thank you so much as I was revising maths in my free time and now I can focus on cognitivity tests. |

Search on YouTube for the Cut-e tests (such as "Cut-e Monitoring Ability") because they have uploaded a variety of example videos which will help you understand what to expect.
I will check it out. |
Has anyone else received a phone call? I missed mine on Thursday as I was driving, they left a voice-message to call them back, I'm calling back but it keeps going to voicemail :(

i called them but you need to leave a voice message with them and they call back. I think I will continue to try and get through, will get through at some point. will post if i hear back from them
|
Medical emails are starting to come through. I’ve booked on for early October in Swanwick due to holiday commitments in September. |
Yep, they gave me early Sept too. No signs of security paperwork but i guess there is plenty of time.
|
I got a reply back, I passed stage 3, thanks all for the help!

Theres no limit, if you’re good enough and meet the criteria, you will pass. Whether there’s 0 or 6 people, it doesn’t matter. |
