Hello ! Does anybody know when is next phase 1 taking place?
Good luck to all attending phase 1 on May 6th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)
Cheers

Yep, im after a date for stage 1 testing, got an email this morning saying the application has been processed and now i should just wait for a phase 1 date.

Chances of it being whilst im on holiday.............! :}

My my, I'm in a very nervous state right now. I had the strip management test a couple of days ago and actually found it being quite fun to do. I felt it went pretty good, I managed to detect 7 or 8 local conflicts and was able to fill in all the information that was delivered through my headphones as well as removing and sorting the strips. Here's the thing though - I didn't detect a single opposite conflict! I'm guessing this was the most important task even though they tell us to give all the tasks equal priority.

Does anyone dare to speculate in my chances of passing this part of the test? Test results will be coming later this week and I'm pretty much sitting on needles right now.

oddbob, I read somewhere in this thread that another guy hasn't detected any opposite conflicts as well, and he passed.

oddbob, how hard did you find exercises in morning session, i read quite a lot about those exercises, but can't really imagine how hard they actually are

killua - That might give me some hope then. Awaiting friday with grave anxiety.

matichk - The tests were very much like I expected them. They resemble most IQ-tests you can find on the internet and the basic principles are pretty much the same. Obviously these test shouldn't be easy, but I think it all comes down to whether or not you have a knack for distinguishing certain shapes and colors, coordinating mental reflexes and also applying arbitrary rule bending - a great part of the tests were focused on this.

Whatever you do, don't start giving up if you find it very difficult and try to relax as much as you can. At one part of the test I ran out of time and left 8 (!) questions unanswered - still I managed to pass the test.

I'm sure you've read about the Ball test. Here is an interesting flash game that should give you a hint of how your multitasking skills are.

Play Multitask, a free online game on Kongregate

I got a score of 350. Although it took 15 tries...practice makes perfect. :rolleyes:

By the way, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Aplicant for ATC student
 

A few months ago I have sent the aplication form completed for ATC student in Maastricht.I sent them also the diplomas and a completed form of the visual certification of performance.The replied to me and a few days ago they informed me that i'll go for the testing in Maastricht but I will have to wait for a date.Can someone tell me more about the testing? What does it consist of? What kind of questions should I expect? Will the interview be on the same day of the testing? How can I prepair for it? Please if someone can inform me preciosely i will appreciate it a lot. :)

Hello Adriana... read throughout this thread and you will find your answers and further information about Eurocontrol testings (FEAST) and interviews.
Welcome to the forum anyway
Cheers !

Well i read it and still have some questiones.Can you give me some examples of web sites when i can train my abilities ,i have found some but i don't know if there are apropiate for their tests.Does the first phase of testing inludes the ELPAC test? tnx for the previous answer FoxrotCharlie :)

You really can't prepare for the tests. Just be relaxed on the day of the tests and have faith in your skills.

So, has anyone from this weeks testing heard from them yet? Ms Prevoo said that the results will be known at the end of this week..

Hello all !
to Wandering... how do you know that the results are coming this week ? did you go there ? do you know someone who went yesterday ?
Cheers !

I was there on the 4th :) and Ms Prevoo said that the results will come in at the end of the week.

well best of luck to you and everyone else who were there this week

i am the new guy
 

hi to all you guys,
i also got a mail a few days ago in which they informed me that i'll go for the testing in Maastricht but I will have to wait for a date.my name is can and i am from turkey. does anyone know the date for the next phase 1 testing?

I don't know when they will initiate the next phase 1 testings, but before we took our tests earlier this week they told us that the approved candidates from the current rounds won't start their training until the beginning of next year (2011). It seems somewhat logical (considering the time span between previous testings) that they won't start inviting new candidates until 2-3 months from now. But this is just a wild guess.

thanks oddbob :ok:

oddbob, did you get any response from them yet?

ATC
 

Does anybody know is the ELPAC (english language proficiency for aeronautical communicatons) provided as a part of the first phase of testing in Maastricht?

No they dont have elpac there.

Tnx for the answer :)

@ SLeo

Were you the `nervous guy´ or his friend, who was `full of himself´ ;-) ?
Tell me, how did it go?

Greetings to Finland!

Hello all !
to sgt_raven: just brilliant ! I liked your blog a lot, and found it very interesting. Keep the spirit !
Cheers

i got an email today from eurocontrol about phase 1 testing which, typically, I can't make due to prior work commitments :(

BTW, what are the arrangements re: travel? are we expected to get to the airport ourselves to do eurocontrol sort that? there is a mention of a routeplan, is that just directions from the airport or?

Hello !
to LessThanSte, I got an email today too, stating a date to attend phase 1. I declined due to University exams :\. I phoned Imke today and she told me that I would be placed in a waiting list (not again :{). Hope to get an invitation for July.
Cheers!

Hello everyone,

My name is Vuicin Victor and i've been reading this thread for a few months.
I applied sometime around February and today i receieved the invitation for the Phase 1 Test. They said i should be there in June 2nd so anyone who's been invited in the same day, i hope we will keep in touch here or by email and...se you there:D

Cheers

Hi guys! I got an email too, inviting me for phase 1 on June 3rd and I will definitely be there!

@sgt_raven: really nice initiative, I'm sure your blog will help a lot of applicants, including myself :E

@Victor, i have testing on 2nd June as well, so send me a PM :)

Imke is a girls name :o

Ive been starting emails with Dear Sir.

:O

ouch, i was always trying to avoid words as sir and madam, cause i wasn't sure

hehe, looks like we all tought Imke was a guys name, icluding me.
Thank you guys for your comments about my blog and if you could be so kind to leave your comments on the blog or follow it so it does not look so deserted.
I am preparing more stuff on the blog about ATC simulators.

@LessThanSte I think you will find an answer on my blog:
becomeatco.b-l-o-g-s-p-o-t.com (exclude dashes)

Good luck to everyone!!! :ok:

Yeh i did, i had a read through earlier, nice work!

Hey, Matichk, when did you complete your registration exactly? I've been following the posts here and I think it was around the same time I did (19th of February). However, They didn't invite me for May nor June... Imke said I'm on a waiting list..

So I'm just wondering if this depends on timing (how long we are waiting) or they actually assess the apps and first invite the more promising ones..?:uhoh:

@ Rutele

I don't think you should worry about not being invited. I started to think something was wrong when i realised it's may and they didn't sent me the invitation(i was told in jan or feb that i will be invited for the phase 1). Maybe there are limited sessions of candidates...dunno.

@Rutele
yup, i got my mail "wait for phase 1" mail on 19th February
probably you will get invited next time

Well, I hope so.. but by the next september I'll be too old anyway so I guess if they filled current cohort already - it's doesnt matter anymore.

Good luck with your tests guys!

Testing
 

Two weeks ago Imke sent me an e-mail that i will have to wait for the testing.I sent my application form in April. How long will i have to wait for a date???
