I think it's for 3 years after validation. What are you planning on doing after they invest in your training and the obligatory service is up?

Good morning,
I am traveling down from Glasgow for my stage 2 on the 27th February. I am trying to plan the best method of travel and organize times etc. I was wondering if you are allowed to take bags into the facility? This would mean I could fly down the day before and fly home the night after without needing to book a second hotel room. My other question would be the dress code? Is it expected that you wear a suit or would a shirt and trousers be enough? Again for the reason of baggage and how much I need to bring.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Hey.

I just sat my stage 2 on the 15th, there was a mix of us in full suits and just trousers and shirt so I think you'll be okay to just go shirt and trousers.

People also had back packs with them on the day. As long as your not bringing in a full fledged suit case you should be good.

Hope this helps!

hello, i would like to ask about stage 3 if anyone has some info. they say that the day consists of 3 parts and the third part is a eurocontrol computer based asssessment. Does anyone have any insight of that??

Wipe0ut 17th February 2018 18:05

For those that have completed stage 3 is there anything that can be prepared for the Eurocontrol test of stage 3 ?

Thanks for info to both of you.

Asking out of curiosity. Can't find this info anywhere else.

Stage 3
 
Hello all!

Just recently passed my stage 2 and got my email invite for stage 3! I've got the chance to book onto one on 08/03, 15 days from now.

My question is for people who have passed stage 3, do you think 15 days is enough time to prepare for it? Or am I sabotaging myself by going for it so soon?

Stage 2 assessment
 
Hi all, got my stage 2 assessment tomorrow morning and just wondering if anyone has any information about why the multi choice questions will be like?

Are they going to be very specific about numbers or is it a bit more vague?

Thanks, Cal.

Stage 1 isn't a particularly big deal in terms of preparing for it. Just do what the email/instructions say which is find a quiet room where you wont be disturbed for a couple hours. They give you practice questions throughout the test too so you know whats coming. Seriously don't stress stage 1.

if i have a plane departure from Heathrow at 8.30pm on the stage2 day, can i make it in time ? (with passing all parts of the test and leaving at 5pm as planned)


-also what are the costs of living while on a training salary ? is it enough to live in UK(renting place to sleep, food)




cheers

Aircraft stats
 
Does anybody have any advice on how important it is to learn the stats on the aircraft in the final pages of the document for Stage 3?

Thanks!

ATCkmmbbh1 10th March 2018 12:18

dFixxx3r;

As long as nothing major happens to mess with the timings, you should be fine. I completed the day at stage 2 then walked to Swanwick train station and got the train to London Victoria arriving at 17:45.

Probably won't be a life of luxury while training but I think it is possible to live off the training salary!

rickoo97 12th March 2018 11:06

Hi Guys,

With the dress code being smart for the stage 2 assessment day, are they wanting people to come in suit and tie or can it just be a smart shirt and trouser combo?

Cheers
