Well, reading through the description of the new process it cetainly looks like they've cut DART. I found that part quite enjoyable, despite the fact I'd convinced myself I had failed it. Perhaps NATS determined that performance on DART doesn't correlate with one's post-training ability?

Or it cost too much money? :}

Is anyone here doing airports training at CTC? Have a question for you if you do.

Coincidentally I would also like to get in touch with someone doing airports at CTC. Or with someone who is currently doing their basic course and starting their APS rating course in June as I'm getting recoursed onto that particular course.

Thanks! I did suggest Gloucester as my preference so will see where I end up!

Just working on getting all the paperwork filled in now!

so anyone checked the new system yet ?
cheers

I'll be taking the assessments this weekend from start to finish. I imagine they are similiar initially to the stage 0 and 1 tests, however i'll be curious to see what changes are in place considering the FEAST and DART aren't included anymore...

i've done all the online tests for stage 1 and have just been invited to do stage 2 tests which surprised me because i thought i made so many mistakes, some of the stage 1 tests were ridiculously hard

Hi there,

I've done stage 2 but waiting for an outcome, do you know how long it took for an email to come through?
thanks

How did you find Stage 2 on the new version? And have you previously taken the Stage 2 (FEAST , DART) to compare?

I am at Stage 2 now but cannot take for another week due to being away with work. Stage 1 I did yesterday morning and found them easier than the original versions.

I found it ok, but some questions were a little strange especially in the personality questionnaire. The situational judgment part they gave you hypothetical scenarios about your time at the college and training at units and then asked how you would deal with a given situation. They give you 4 options and you rank them 1-4 depending on which would be your go to solution as number 1 and your least as 4. For the personality questionnaire they gave you a set of three statements and you have the pick which is more like you and which is least like you.
I had only got to stage 1 in the previous version and then they updated so can't compare. I also found stage one simpler in this new version than the old one,
where the diagrammatic reasoning threw me off :s
I've also found the the links in the emails they send don't work 100% of the time, i guess there are still some bugs that need fixing in the new version

I've not heard yet either, I did stage 2 on Monday.

Has anyone who got through at the end of the old system been given a date for their medical yet?

I got an email like 2 minutes after saying i passed stage 2

Hi all!

I applied last year and got into assesment 2 (old system). I passed the FEAST but unfortunately I failed on the DART. I am applying again now, but I would like to know if anyone knows if the new assesment 3 tests are going to be FEAST and DART or different ones? There is also a group exercise.

Also, for those of you who have done the new assesment 1, how is it? Is it similar to the old assesment 0 and 1, or are they more like the FEAST?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance! :)

Ok! Thanks!

Hi!
This week I passed stages 1 & 2 of the process and I'm waiting to be given more details about the stage 3 (materials, date...). How much did it take by the old system to have date and all that stuff?

Thanks

I passed my stage 2 last month and my stage 3 isn't for another 2 weeks so I would guess I would be one of the last legacy people on the old system!
