s3
 

Had my stage 3 on the 21st April..Recently got a email saying i'd passed!
Anyone due to start in January? - if so...PM me!
Cheers

OneStep - are you going for area or aerodrome?

Also, had my S2 the other day and got my e-mail saying I'd to take the Occupational Personality Questionnaire and they'd forward details for the next step. I'm assuming like S1 that this is the only indication you've passed?!

Or am I being optimistic?

If this does mean I've passed, the fear of S3 can set in properly :)

Aplicant for ATC in Maastricht
 

A few months ago I have sent the aplication form completed for ATC student in Maastricht.I sent them also the diplomas and a completed form of the visual certification of performance.The replied to me and a few days ago they informed me that i'll go for the testing in Maastricht but I will have to wait for a date.Can someone tell me more about the testing? What does it consist of? What kind of questions should I expect? Will the interview be on the same day of the testing? How can I prepair for it? Please if someone can inform me preciosely i will appreciate it a lot. :)

jENGA-JEN.

Not to sure yet, perhaps leaning towards aerodrome?..
You can fail the personality questionnaire so beware!
All the best

I'd be going to Glasgow Uni, and I'm scottish so no tuition fee's or much debt. I understand what your saying and it's much appreciated! Still got another year left at school anyway so plenty time to make up my mind. Cheers everyone though! Its much appreciated :)

Hi guys, I have a question. I haven't been able to find it in old posts.

What is the best way to come to Whiteley from Fareham train station?

Thanks

Fareham to Whiteley

Your have four options

Taxi, most expensive but most likely to get you there
Bus, cheapest but finding out the times and where the bus goes from may be difficult. (First Group timetables are available on line if you do a bit of research)
Train to Swanwick and then walk (25 minutes walk from Swanwick station, instructions are in a much earlier posting in this thread)
Train to Swanwick and then taxi

Thanks man. I think I will see if my train stops at swanwick, if not, then I will take bus to whiteley.

EDIT: One more question. Is checking a part of S1. When I read reports from S1 some of you mention it, while some of you don't?

no checking on part 1, 4 tests, maths, motivation, cubes, diagramming....home time.

round one success
 

i found the 3D cubes ok, similiar to ones found in the mensa testing protocols.

got the email today saying i had passed round one and now have to sit a Bio-data Personality Questionnaire. am more worried about this than the non verbal reasoning questions. any big pitfalls i shoulod avoid before sitting it?

I wouldn't worry too much, they're all very basic questions in the personality test. Just be honest and consistent. If you know your own personality you've nothing to worry about.

cheers i'll sit and do it tomorrow.

Hey guys.

Sat the Stage 1 at Prestwick on the 30th and got an invite to Stage 2. Didn't want to post anything until I was in the system. This forum has been a great help with some great links to practice with. Thanks.

Gaz, hope you passed as well mate. If so, shoot me an email and I'll head down to Fareham when you book it.

Cheers for the consolation messages :) Think I'm going to get a job in the subject I did at uni (graphic design) and start flying lessons again to get an NPPL(M) as the NATS thing rekindled my interest in aviation. Whoever said you don't get scrap paper for the cubes: I did Stage 1 at NATS CTC and we were given scrap paper, don't know if its changed in the last month?

Penguin -


If I remember correctly you hand your scrap paper in before the cubes and columns.

Does anyone no what sort of contract your offered after training/validation if any. Is there is any minimum timed to served ?

Cheers

I have a document from 2006 that says that you can leave when you finish training. I don't know if anything's changed.

Hmm seems wierd with how expensive training is ? Thanks for the reply

Anyone know if this is still the case ?

It's still the same - you can leave NATS whenever you like, with whatever training, licences, ratings, etc that you hold at that time.

T6MCX: By columns do you mean the diagramming stuff? As I remember drawing some of the tougher ones on scrap paper.
