Hi all
I applied back in July and too only heard back on Thursday last week with the invite to do the online test which I passed and am going for the next stage on Tuesday 11th September at 10:45!
I'm too from yorkshire so will be travelling down the night before!
Good luck to everyone!!!

Stage 1 - Thu Sept 20 - 8.15 BST
 

Hello everyone :)

Got my Stage 1 scheduled for Thu Sept 20 - 8.15 BST

As I am in Portugal, I'll be flying to London and I would appreciate if someone local can give me some tips:

1. best way from airport to southampton - i am guessing rail?
2. some place to stay which is close to CTC and not too expensive...

Best to all and thanks in advance for the help

Antonio

Chewy well done :) If I'm lucky and get the same date I can give You a ride from Armley ;)

GAPSTER do You know any usefull accomodation in Whiteley ? Im going to use my car so I dont really know where to stay but Whiteley seems closest option

Hi Chewy3112

Could you give me some informatin abouts the test online?

Thanks

Roundpole...the only hotel I know of in Whiteley is The Solent Hotel...stayed there a couple of times on work related stuff.Very close to CTC if it's in your budget range.It's not particularly up market,maybe worth a look on Lastminute.com or similar?

Kimmikins - cheers for that. Not quite as close as the 1.5 miles to premier inn but may just do. I'll be driving anyway so taxi route not an issue.

Anything to make the maths part of your brain function really. Good luck tomorrow everyone & anyone.

Conc, it is if you go the other way into Whiteley ;) but Google Maps wants to take you the long way.

Solent Hotel is situated just as you come down from J9, but it's known for being pricey. There's also a B&B in Park Gate called Four Winds, but if you're looking for something close, you won't get closer than the Solent Hotel!

Just a quick one.

This seems really odd, but my impression from what I have seen online on other forums, is that at Stage 1, there is no interview? Am I correct in assuming this? Is stage will literally just a number of various tests?

Regards.

Not so much close, just as hassle free and easy to drive from as possible as you could imagine.

The only interview is during stage 3.

Grand, there goes the couple of hours I spent preparing answers to questions for stage 1 :ugh: Oh well, at least if I make it to stage 3, I will be semi prepared!

Cheers

Just got home from stage 1 assessment. Unsure how to feel about it, part of my is confident, part of me not so much. Here is hoping I find out if I progress in the next couple of days, as opposed to a dragged out couple of weeks!

How many people at assessments?
 

Hello all.

New to this forum. Ive got my stage 1 test on the 26th September. I was wondering how many people are at each session?

Can someone who has been give us a heads up on what to expect on that first session? How much feedback if any did you get?

Also, how difficult is it to get to stage 1 at NATS, after application and online test?

I thought I had done well to get to initial selection but Im thinking the real process of elimination now starts.

Thanks

Are there interviews taking place at prestwick airport does anyone know??

Prestwick isn't a NATS airport so I would very much doubt it.

Hi LGW- 08R,

First of all, i hope it went ok for all of you.
Could you tell us a bit more about the first stage?
Is it the same as described on the website?
ATC paper and numeracy test and then if you are successful you are invited to take the last two tests ?
I've just received the invitation for stage 1, but unfortunately there is no dates available. Sent an email to HR and they said to check the link again in a couple of days...

stage 1 study material
 

Hello everyone

I have been reading through the materials send in the link to Stage 1 tests (the doc file), and it seems to have been writen arround 2007-2009. Is this the actual material or did they feed a link with outdated material???

If I happen to fail (hope, not, fgr crossed) I just don't want to fail for some stupid thing like outdated materials... :OO


Regards and thanks

Hello there,

Thank you first off. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to talk in detail about any of the stages, so I won't go into any detail. However, all the materials they send you, you will be tested upon. So ensure you have an understanding of the documents and so on. With regards to how my day was, ran exactly as described on the website.

Sorry I can't help anymore :)

I understand. There is no surprise, that's all I wanted to know :)
Thank you
