I'm going on 3rd August!
 

Want to wish good luck to everyone!

booking ASSESSMENT DATE ERROR???
 

Hi

This is not a joke
I have click to book and ...
"There are no time slots available for this event. Please contact us so that we can consider alternative options"

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Anyone else ?

Hi there!

Yes exactly the same. It says below just to keep checking back :) Glad I'm not the only one ;)!

Best of luck!

EDIT: I tried to book on at 1400 today and it said the same thing.

buuuuaaaaaaa :uhoh:

I want to book now!!!!!!

Well, is there someone from spain?

With a 1-2 year waiting period, there's probably a lot of people trying to lock into one of these dates. I got July 21st, anyone else? :)

I think I remember reading on the NATS website that stage 2 started with a written test. You had to study some material in advance, but now I can't find that reference. Can anyone confirm this?

Btw, Megamc, I'm from Portugal. I actually looked into an ATC program in Spain before I found out about NATS (FerroNATS, I believe) :)

Regarding Stage 3 again.
 

Has anybody heard back from their interviews? It's been around 2 weeks now and I'm getting a bit restless haha.

That was some fast booking for Stage 2! :eek:

Not yet. But, after waiting a year and a half for Stage 3, a few weeks don't seem like that much :rolleyes:

I thought I was clear enough...this does not bode well for my communication skills! But yes, I'll be booking when they become available. I checked at 1900 today and the same "No date" message was displayed then too.

Hey first time posting on this.
I applied about 3-4 weeks ago. Booked my date about 15 minutes after getting the email through today, worked aboslutely fine for me even did it on my phone :/

Although as soon as I had booked it I got an email informing me the time was incorrect and it was in fact 8 am not 9 am.

I'm going 24 August

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think we have to study anything before stage 2 anymore. I have been reading previous discussions on this thread too (such as documents being sent to applicants) and nothing like this is mentioned in the email, so I am assuming it has been removed (or moved to stage 3?)

Weird about all dates being filled, btw. I also had no trouble booking 7th August. Hope you guys are able to book soon!

Just mentioned feast and dart, which are cognitive tests really.

Apologies if i'm doing this wrong, 1st post.

I got my stage 2 invitation email yesterday, clicked on the date and with a bit of hesitation (about 3mins) I decided to go for the 6th July, clicked confirm and the whole of July was fully booked. People obviously didn't mess about after receiving the email. Fortunately I managed to get booked in for the 3rd August :ok:

If anyone has any information regarding the Stage 2 that I can revise, it would be greatly appreciated

Anyone have heard of FEAST TEST TRAINING!!!
 

I was checking online for some tests and found this, is available in App Store & Google Play Store.
Anyone in here has tried it, is it worth? The price on App Store is £27.99. I'm just wondering if it's similar to what we'll have to do???

RobertSaturn, I did some digging as well to see what I could use to practice for the stage 2 tests. I found out about that app (and a few more like it), but I don't think I'll be buying anything. From what I've read in forums, FEAST is designed to test your skills, rather than your preparation. I'd guess it's a bit like the online assessments, preparation doesn't matter nearly as much as being able to think quickly and clearly. That's why I don't think the investment is worth it.

However, I've been checking out some nice tools to get acquainted with the brain exercises/ATC stuff. There's a few that I've found to be interesting:

Airport Madness - multitasking, awareness

Lumosity - full of little games to test speed, attention, memory, etc. Some contents used to be free, I believe, now after an initial test you have to pay a subscription fee (about 7€ a month)

And, of course, the NATS games ;)

Btw, what do you think would be a nice score on those NATS games? I struggle with some more than others. In particular, what do you think would be a good score for the sequential memory and reactive avoidance tests?

I'd be surprised if anyone has been stupid enough to pay that much to find out

Some have had to play them. A lot. :bored:

I thought Strip Display management as it was then was quite fun at the time. Not sure what I'd think now though.

I used lumosity, it was quite good to pass the time but probably did little to improve or change my scores to the nats tests.

I also played a lot of tetris (Free Tetris | Tetris Friends Online Games I think I used) which was a similar thing, a good way to pass the time but probably did nothing to imrpove my scores.

Hi, Hanima!
 

I think you're right, everything is about reaction in this tests and brain as well!

About the NATS games, they are ok, with the cards game I can't go past tthe level with 5cards, that starts to be difficult to me; the other is ok, I managed close to 4000.

But never mind, everything in the test will be new, never heard or played, so indeed is all about us!

I'm going on 3rd August - GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE!!!
