Great news!:ok:
I'm so happy right now, I was afraid yesterday that you wouldn't get your results until next year, but it seems you've now got an erly christmas present, good job!

November 14th Stage 1 Result!
 

Hey everyone!

The Results for the Bournemouth November 14th set of Stage 1 tests are due out tomorrow by my reckoning of 15 working days!

This is an exciting but also a bone shatteringly nervous moment for me! *fingers crossed for getting onto stage 2*

I'll let you all know as soon as I know either way, and hopefully you guys will all do the same!

Phil

Just completed the epic 5 hour drive home from Fareham. Stage 2 went alright, but I have a strong feeling that I failed the first section.

Let's just hope that I get through, and never have to do mental arithmetic whilst avoiding mid-air collisions...

Also... if any of the guys (or girl) are on PPRuNe who did the Stage 2 today... HELLO :) Send me a PM and let me know how you got on.

PS: I was the super tall one ;D

Just had a congratulatory email from NATS to invite me to Stage Three!

Super excited now :D

When I went to schedule the interview, there was only a single slot, and that was for 16th Feb in Prestwick. I don't really want to go all the way to Glasgow for my interview, will more dates become available, or do I have to choose this option?!

aww the stage 2 dates on the 26, 27 an 28 Jan booked up SUPER fast lol gota wait till 16th Feb now :(

KirtjE, congrats on making it through!

I belive the mail NATS sent regarding the test dates next year said that there will be at least one stage 3 each month and that they are usually held at the CTC. I'm not 100% certain but I belive it said something along those lines.

Once again congrats! I'm really looking forward to my stage 2 on the 26th! :)

Woohoo. I'll keep my eye out for March/April then.

Is there an expiration date on the tests? ie, do I have to do Stage 3 within X days of passing Stage 2?

None that I know of but if you want to be sure, send HR a mail and ask :)

Hi hatemyjob
I was at Stage 2 on the 13th as well at CTC.
I got through as well.

Got to wait until Feb for Stage 3 though now at Prestwick.

How bout you?

Who were you as well (should prob remember but meet so many people) - I was the guy who left first...

I'm very happy to let everyone know that I've passed my Stage 1! (YAY!)

Looking forwards to getting on with the rest of the application!

Phil

Congrats matey. Stage 2 is a real bitch... :P

Ad5, I was the guy who kept going for a fag.

Congrats

Yeah so I've heard! I'm already practising my arithmetic to help with that landing and arithmetic test!

Also, can I just have a steer on something: I've heard rumours that I should try to arrange a tower visit before stage 2. Is that true?

Cheers,
Phil

Phil: There is no need to visit a tower or anything before Stage 2.

But, if you are successful, I'd recommend visiting Swanwick or a tower before Stage 3 :)

Hi,
I did Stage 1 a week ago and today i got and email from HR inviting me to do the personality test although they have not mention if i have pass or fail stage 1. Shall I assume I am through Stage 2?

Anyone else in the same situation?

Thanks

Thanks for the info on making a visit.

Also, let me be the first to congratulate you on passing stage 1 Sofia, that's a heck of a fast reply!

Basically, you have passed Stage 1 (as far as I understand the system) but you need to pass the Personality Test to progress to stage 2.

Phil

Phil: I don't believe there is a pass or fail element to the personality test between Stages 1 and 2, nor is there a pass or fail element to the career test between Stages 2 and 3. However, I would assume the interviewers at Stage 3 would have copies to discuss with you, just be honest, else you'll get caught out.

Ohh.. interesting on 2 counts!

1. I have heard that some people do not progress past the Personality test? But hopefully it isn't pass/fail as that'd put be closer than I think to success! :D

2. I didn't realise there was a career test between 2 and 3, I presume this is where they decide if you would be Area or Aerodrome?

Cheers,
Phil

I've had my email this morning inviting me to the stage 2! :D (YAY)

However, the link shows no dates (OH NO!)

But I have emailed to ask the proper course of action. Just wondering if anyone else is suffering the same problem. It could be weather related I suppose? I.E. they don't know when to schedule it, and are waiting for the weather to subside?

Cheers all as always!

Phil
