I just got mine through too. (Was also there on Monday) stage 2 here I come! Think I might book the 14th too.

Who's got some tips for stage 2?

Yep I passed Stage 1, I have booked 14th for my Stage 2. See you boys there!

There is a lot of Stage 2 advice on the preceding pages Scottish-ghost, although as they are aptitude tests, I found a good sleep and a hearty breakfast in the morning set me up well (for a success) last time around.

Longer term, I didn't think it hurt to practice mental arithmetic in the lead up to the testing day.

Stage 1 - Numeracy Tests
 

sambatc - do they still do the numeracy/compass tests in Stage 1 assessments?

Info I originally printed mentioned them in the hints and tips but checked site today and application process has been updated, no longer mentions any numeracy test :confused:

quick one
 

hello,

just wondering if there is an arithmetic problems test in stage one???

thanks.

Will see you folks around on the 14th, that's 3 days before our Law exam so you'll probably find all of course 233 in the hub with the nose down the books...

Was a lot of people in on the other day btw, stage 1,2 and 3 on the same day, so looks like recruitment is going full speed at the moment!

Hi, IoW_Eagle ..I am also booked for Tuesday the 4th at 13:30. Kind of dreading the leaflet part of the test tbh.. how you finding it?

Hey hash_wanted

Good to hear from you, check your inbox (if you haven't already), I've pm'd you :)

Just trying to memorise what I can & hope it comes in handy on the day!!

college for ATC
 

Hi guys, i did my online test, and i wasnt success, any one know the best college so i can go im ready to pay for my tuitions fees, any idea plz.

As far as I know , yet I may be VERY wrong , paying for training and graduating one of the "atc colleges" doesn't get you anywhere . I mean every ATSA tests , trains , employes , people that pass their selection process. Of course if you want to get employed by some private ATSA controlling small airports , go ahead , but it may not be the thing you dreamed of .

Sorry if I was very discouraging , but it is for your own good !

Hey all! how is everybody ^^

Was just wondering, if any of you people who took the stage 1 on the 4th of December heard anything.. I went in at 9.30 in the morning, although had my appointment for 10.30... We were 4 in total for the "ATC test".. in the end, the lady read 3 names out, which i wasnt in.. and I thought "ok.. thats the end of it..". After they left the room, the other lady smiled and said "congrats", I was shocked ofc :P

Was it also a small group for those of you who took it at 13.30?

Best of luck to all of you!

Stage 3
 

Hi everyone,

I have a question and I hope somebody can clarify the problem I have :-)
I've been sent a link to schedule an interview. I read on the NATS FAQ website that if no date is available, we just have to wait till new dates are posted. I'm wondering if that answer still applies if the link to schedule an interview says: " There are no available time slots remaining for this interview. Please contact the hiring manager listed above to schedule an interview time."

Someone experienced the same in the past? :-)

Good luck to everyone participating in the selection process!

Regards

Yes it's perfectly normal . The one thing that you won't get notified for is when new slots are available . Check every day ! Some waited months , even a full year . In this session dates will come up real quick ( 95% probability ) so stay calm , take a chill pill ! :D

Agreed with malakajin.. Had the same problem for my stage 1.. just wait and check the link regularly, they will put new dates for sure, as the selection process is still open and going.

Yes, and be deligent with your checking! At least once a day, every day. These dates seem to be flying off the shelves this session, and you don't want to miss your chance!

I waited over a year between stages 2 and 3, just the way the cookie crumbled for me!

This session has been an aweful lot faster. Don't worry about it!

Phil

Thanks for the replies! I will just wait and check the link on regular intervals :-)

I have got my stage 2 on Friday and on the NATS website it says I should of been sent a bio-questionnaire before I book stage 2 which I haven't been yet... do they not do that any more?

Overwhelmed by applicants. They are skipping it this sessions it seems .

Stage 1 Again
 

Hi guys,

I've just been accepted for my stage 1 down at Fareham on 7th January.

Got to stage 3 a few years ago but never applied again however just decided to last week.

Question is do they still do the Numeracy tests at stage 1? S=d/t etc etc?

Anyone else booked on it on the 7th also?

Stage 2
 

Hi
Just looking to clarify, is there an interview section to stage 2? Some sources say yes some say no.

Thanks
